From Reuters: Mylan NV (MYL.O) said on Monday it would launch the first generic to its allergy auto-injector EpiPen at a discount of more than 50 percent to the branded product’s list price.
The company reduced the out-of-pocket costs of EpiPen for some patients last week amid a wave of criticism from lawmakers and the public over the rapid escalation in the product’s price in the past few years.
Mylan said it expected to launch the generic product “in several weeks” at a list price of $300. The branded product costs about $600. EpiPen cost about $100 in 2008.
