recently read about EMS agencies in Washington and Montana that are switching back to vials and syringes to save money. A two-pack of EpiPens is $400; the vials of epinephrine cost $2.50 each.””
I keep trying to tell people bitching about the Epi pen price to buy the vials and syringes.. They ganged up on me like a pack of BLM Africans for suggesting such a thing. It ain’t that big a deal. Anaphylaxis killed about 5 people out of 320 million last year. Auto accidents killed about 37000.
CVS sells the generic version of the epipen for $10, with manufacturer’s discount coupon.
