Thank you for mentioning adrenaclick. Generics have been completely missing from the public debate. While epipen price gouging is very real, and a problem, there is one short term solution for allergy sufferers: demand an Rx for the generic. They are under $200 (source: checkyourmeds.com). Vote with your wallet!! Looks like the differences are: extra safety cap and Epipen brand has an auto-retracting needle. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LRgqwgCh4Fs https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LRgqwgCh4Fs

Great business to be in, attach an auto injection mechanism to maybe $5 worth of syringe and epinephrine. Then undercut your competition by over 60%. I hope they do well. If more generic manufacturers get in on this or the patent expires we might see this go down to a more reasonable <$50 price, but this is definitely a step in the right direction.

Unfortunately there is no generic for Epipen. Unless you have been written a prescription for Adrenaclick specifically, you can't get it, or the generic version.
