Mylan to launch first generic to EpiPen auto-injector at a list price of $300 per two-pack carton, a more than 50% discount to the brand product
29 August 2016 - Mylan today announced that its U.S. subsidiary will launch the first generic to EpiPen Auto-Injector (epinephrine injection, USP) at a list price of $300 per generic EpiPen two-pack carton, which represents a discount of more than 50% to the Mylan list price, or wholesale acquisition cost ("WAC"), of the branded medicine.
The authorized generic will be identical to the branded product, including device functionality and drug formulation. Mylan expects to launch the product in several weeks, pending completion of labeling revisions. Upon launch, the product will be available as a two-pack carton in both 0.15 mg and 0.30 mg strengths.
Mylan also intends to continue to market and distribute branded EpiPen.
