This is GREAT news-- and even better is that if you qualify, you may be able to get a twinpack for under ten dollars.



Yes.  Really.

This is the ten-dollar coupon--

Looks to me like pretty much anyone can use it, too-- up to THREE twinpacks.

At ten dollars each.






I'm SO happy that many more families will not have to go without other necessities or choose to risk being without epinephrine.  SO happy.

Adrenaclick generic has always been on the market--well not always, but you know what I mean. I got a trainer to show ds to see if it would be an acceptable alternative. So I don't get what's different now.

I was wondering the same thing, BensMom.

Still, a great option for those that need it.  The Adrenaclick ones remind me of the old EpiPens. I am not a fan of the two caps, but it is a thousand times better than a syringe and phial.

I'm pretty sure that the ten dollar copay on a twinpack is new, though.

FWIW, DS didn't really like that the click sound wasn't very loud. When he needs refills, we'll discuss what to get, but that was the comment he had.

CIGNA will no longer cover Epi so I guess I will be looking at this.  (And I swore I would never use CVS after they promised to refill an emergency inhaler before closing and then shut the window, when I said what about the inhaler they said they would get it tomorrow).

Really hoping Auvi is finacially doable for the boys though.

If you have Cigna and your Rx is for Epipen, they fill it at the generic co-pay with the new Mylan generic epipen-two pack.
