A short-cut review was carried out to establish whether sublingual adrenaline tablets might be useful in the management of acute allergic reactions. Three animal studies and one case report were directly relevant to the question. The author, date and country of publication, patient group studied, study type, relevant outcomes, results and study weaknesses of these papers are shown in table 1. The clinical bottom line is that sublingual adrenaline tablets may have a future in clinical practice but first we need clinical trials of their safety and efficacy.
