Consumers Union is sponsoring this petition drive. As a beekeeper, I feel
like keeping an Epi-Pen available on my property would make good neighbor
sense. However, these devices expire after a year so I can't afford the
annual $600 purchase price. The less-expensive alternative, Adrenaclick, is
not so easy to use. What do you think?
Consumers Union says:
Mylan, makers of the most popular EpiPen in America, just announced a huge
increase in the price for a pack of EpiPens. EpiPens cost just a few dollars
to make, but for a pack of two, Mylan wants to charge you $600.
This is shameful price gouging that could cost people their lives. Millions
of allergy sufferers rely on easy access to an EpiPen to avoid a trip to the
hospital - or worse.
Take action right now to make Mylan lower their EpiPen price:
