The hack here is simple: this group did not get FDA approval for their device. Greedy corporations have repeatedly tried to make money by competing with Mylan with cheaper Epipens, but they've been prohibited from doing so by the US government (not so in Europe, where the unfortunate Europeans suffer eight greedy corporations trying to drive prices down).

- maxerickson 10y agoThere is Adrenaclick. And 2 generics for it. (So all you have to do is convince your doctor to write Adrenaclick on your prescription and you can buy the generic for $145 at Walmart) That price is interesting because it puts some kind of cap on the amount that regulation is leading to the price increase for Epipens. The regulation about substituting Adrenaclick on a prescription for Epipen can be argued, but any doctor that won't write Adrenaclick after a minute of discussion better have a good reason.
