Mylan Raised EpiPen’s Price Before the Expected Arrival of a Generic A reasonably easy work-around — if you're not too squeamish about needles — is just to get a couple 1- or 2-ml vials/ampules of epinephrine (1:1000) plus a couple of 3cc syringes with 22- or 25-gauge needles. The cost should be on the order of a few dollars. (A 50-ml multi-use vial of epinephrine costs less than $25, just by sake of comparison.)
Some jurisdictions might require a prescription for such. Your GP or allergist should be willing to accommodate.
Mylan needs to be punished by affected consumers.
