Guys listen up!!! Jeanne had it right. Epinephrine is the actual drug and it's actually quite cheap!! What they're charging for is their patented device.  Just sidestep these crooks by asking your doc to prescribe the drug in a vial with syringes. Just like insulin not quite as convenient as a preloaded pen but still very doable. There are still thousands of folks out there who take insulin like this every day let alone in the case of an infrequent emergency. Much ado about nothing. Another consideration is not the cash cost at the pharmacy which people with insurance don't pay, but what price insurers negotiate with  Mylan and then cover for customers signed up on their health plans with a given co-pay. Let's add some reality to all of this nonsense. Stories like this are a precursor to Hillaries plan to "go after Big Pharma" which she promised in her 2008 campaign as much as anything else.
