I think what many people still do not understand is that Mylan does not hold a patent on epinephrine, they hold a patent on a delivery system. It is the type of mostly foolproof, lawyer proof and idiot proof system that Doctors like to prescribe, because it's safe.
It's like holding a patent on the Bic lighter. You have a delivery system for fire, but if you charge 20 bucks for it people will just use matches.
When I was a kid (early 70's) I was prescribed epinephrine for bee stings and it was a plane old syringe like diabetics use all the time.
I switched to the epipens in the 90's because they were convenient and still relatively cheap.
Ia ain't paying $600 for a pair of epipens, I'll go back to a syringe, even if I have to convince my veterinarian that my cat has peanut allergies.
