CVS sells the generic Adrenaclick for just $110 for two auto-injectors. (The devices are typically sold in a package with two auto-injectors.) The price of brand-name Adrenaclick, which accounts for a small fraction of US prescription fills, is around $500 per twin pack, while the price of generic Adrenaclick has stayed between $200 and $300 per twin pack. Since generic EpiPen- epinephrine- reached the market in December 2016, the price of EpiPen has held steady at around $700 for an auto-injector two-pack, and the price of the EpiPen generic has stayed level at around $400 per twin pack. Instead, the generic version of EpiPen (also manufactured by Mylan) now holds more than 60% of the market, with a generic version of the Adrenaclick auto-injector accounting for another 30% of the US market. Where two years ago, EpiPen, manufactured by Mylan pharmaceuticals, had nearly 90% of the market for the medication, today the EpiPen brand auto-injector accounts for just around 10% of fills. In the two years since a national controversy erupted over the price of EpiPen injectors, the market for epinephrine auto-injectors has changed dramatically, according to a GoodRx analysis of US prescription fill data.
