This Cheaper Universal EpiPen Is Available Now
If you have allergies and need to carry an adrenaline pump with you, you know that branded EpiPens are insanely expensive: $ 600 or more for a two-pack. After protests (and congressional hearings) , EpiPen maker Mylan finally released a generic drug this week. According to the company, the list price for a two-pack will be $ 300.
This puts it in the same price range as Adrenaclick, currently between $ 200 and $ 300 depending on your pharmacy . If you’re just looking for the cheapest option, be sure to compare prices: Adrenaclick may still be your best bet. These two devices deliver the same medication, but the instructions are slightly different: Adrenaclick has two caps that need to be removed, for example, while EpiPen and its generic only have one. So if you’re used to the EpiPen and want to keep carrying around a device you’re more familiar with, check out the new versatile device.
