Adrenaline was synthesized over 100 years ago.
Most of Mylan's drug portfolio has come from acquisitions of other companies. They sell branded drugs that have been synthesized years ago by other people.
The only R&D this company is doing is who to bribe in Congress and how to extort more money from the American public. True free markets at work.

But the industry has just broken up into two sub-industries: the big firms who specialize in large-scale distribution, and the small firms who mostly die but some create the new successful drugs, and then get acquired.
- fckyrdumb 10y agoFree markets? You mean government enforced violence. True free markets would allow anyone to manufacture an epi pen copy without being sued into oblivion while having state thugs seize your property.
- mark_edward 10y agoany competent entrepreneur would buy or build his own government to do this.
- fucking_tragedy 10y ago> True free markets would allow anyone to manufacture an epi pen copy I've had to rely on an EpiPen in the past and I am thankful that regulations exist to ensure it worked. The other recourse to make sure they worked every time would have been for me or others to die and let the free market handle the fall out.
