Mylan Set to Offer “Authorized Generic” Version Of EpiPen
Mylan, the drug company currently in the news for being awful, is set to unveil an “authorized generic” version of their EpiPen, as announced today.
The official EpiPen costs $608.81, much more than the $100 it cost in 2007. The new “authorized generic” EpiPen will cost $300. It will be the same as the “branded” version other than having slightly different packaging.
Aside from raising the costs of life-saving medicine, Mylan also makes use of the “inversion” tax technique to dodges taxes. Apple uses the same technique to avoid paying the United States government what they should in taxes.
**Update*
St. Louis-based Meridian Medical Technologies produces the EpiPen for Mylan. It will also produce the generic version.
