Just did my happy dance. Fingers crossed that Allerject will return to Canada too.

I saw the news of this and would be more than happy to dump Epipens, giving a big middle finger to Mylan. 

I do wonder if Auvi-Q's earlier launch had anything to do with pricing and development of a generic for Mylan anyway.  If a poll was taken of families that needed auto-injectors, it would be interesting to know how big a percentage actually went for Auvi-Q the first time around.  How much of a chunk did that take out of the Epipen business?  I know we switched over for all of our kids immediately, and would do so again. 

Just hoping that Auvi-Q actually doesn't have more troubles a second time around, and is really able to make the cost as close to $0 as possible.  It would be brilliant!

Hope that insurance will cover it...ours didn't the last time.  Anyone know what the price was before without insurance?

Roger, copy on the middle finger to Mylan!!

I do not know what the AuviQ pair "actually" cost, but an old pharmacy receipt (3 years?) I had said something like "$350 if bought without insurance" . . . . but who knows if that was accurate.
Is this where I blame iPhone and cuss like an old fighter pilot's wife?

So happy for this and thrilled DD will have them for college!

Whatever market based challenges Auvi-Q had in the past are dwarfed by Mylan's Epigate.  It's a completely different scenario now.  They will no longer be looking at challenging a monopoly they'll have to ride consumer sentiment and develop strategy against multiple players.  The FDA has been largely silent but I'd bet real money some asses were chewed behind the scenes sending them scrambling to fast track new entries that are established reliably in other markets abroad.

*sigh* We are going to have to wait a while longer in Canada.  It looks like their priority is America. Fingers crossed that Canada will be soon to follow. Very, very soon.  Oh, let me cross everything: fingers, toes, arms, legs, eyes...

I am tired of lugging EpiPens on my runs and workouts, when Allerjects fit perfectly in the waistband pockets of my running gear.

A year ago or so, they were $100 more for a two-pack than epi-pens.

I wonder if they will be covered by our insurance. I know in MA, the copay coupon for Epis won't work anymore once that generic from Mylan is on the market...
