Mylan to Offer a Generic EpiPen at Half the Price. [View all]
'In another move to quell outrage over its price increases, the maker of the EpiPen said on Monday that it would introduce a generic version of the product, with a price about half of the existing EpiPen’s.
The company, Mylan, said that the generic EpiPen would be available in several weeks and be identical to the existing product, which is used to treat severe allergic reactions. But it would have a wholesale list price of $300 for a pack of two, compared with just above $600 for the existing product.
Under pressure, Mylan announced last week that it would increase the financial assistance it provided to commercially insured patients to help with their out-of-pocket costs. It also said it would broaden the eligibility for uninsured patients to receive free products.'>>>
