The medicine it self still costs next to nothing, pair that with a cheap syringe and you have a solution that cost less than a 1/3 of what the epi pen cost before the price increase.
The media and spoiled or stupid parents are the only ones who feel entitled to the convince the epi-pen provides. I say F-u to those too proud to learn how to use a syringe. the creator of the pen should be allow to sell it at any price, so long as the base drug is still accessible and affordable.
It's an acute allergic reaction, Drich; denoted by its rapid onset; . Treating anaphylaxis isn't like managing high blood sugar. It requires immediate medical attention and can become life-threatening within moments of exposure. Why would you expect someone whose eyes are almost swollen to the point of being shut, and frantically struggling to breathe as their airway is narrowing by the second to have the the focus, dexterity, and wherewithal to draw up a precise dose of epinephrine from vial into a syringe? That takes focus, skill, and precision that the afflicted individual may be unable to exercise at the moment. And time, which they do not have.
And it's not just a matter of Mylan selling it for the price of their choosing; It appears that the company's been blocking alternative auto-injectors from being a option to consumers by way of their contracts; ensuring that they're the only viable option available. THEN they charge as much as they like.
And people will die because of it.
Because Drippy is a thoughtless motherfucker who comes here to shit post then leave when he sees what an asshole he is.
