If any Freepers need an epinephrine auto-injector...skip the rip-off “Epipen” and get the brand called “Adrenaclick”...$144.62 for 2 vs. $630.+ for Epipen:

Similar instructions, remove safety caps and push the needle against the thigh.
When Ms. Bresch’s/Mylan’s Epipen sales fall 80-90%, the price will come down.
The whole epipen thing is a crony-capitalist/politician move anyway....now required by law at schools and soon airlines:

Ms. Bresch’s senator dad pushed it.
Thanks for the info!

Clinton Donor CEO who gouged price of EpiPen is daughter of democrat senator

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — As a pharmaceutical company run by U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin’s daughter faces scrutiny for hiking prices on life-saving allergy injection pens, Manchin is remaining mum.
The Democratic West Virginia senator’s daughter, Heather Bresch, is CEO of Mylan, which manufactures EpiPens.
A two-dose package cost around $94 nine years ago. The cost averaged more than six times that in May.
Manchin spokesman Jonathan Kott said Wednesday the senator had no comment.

From Heather Bresch's Wiki page
Between 2009 and May 2016, under Bresch's tenure as Mylan president, Mylan raised the price of a set of pens by nearly 500 %, from $103.50 to $608.61.[29]
Proxy filings show that from 2007 to 2015, Bresch's compensation went from $2,453,456 to $18,931,068, a 671 percent increase. During the same period, EpiPen prices went from $56.64 to $317.82, a 461 percent increase, according to data provided by Connecture.[31]

And don't forget, Bresch, then-Gov. Joe Manchin’s daughter, this POS tried to pass herself off as having an EMBA. After an attempted cover-up by WVU, it was rescinded. Also the president, provost and a dean of WVU were forced to resign for trying to cover for her.
