A Senate report released Sunday heightened scrutiny of a pricing and prescribing strategy used by Kaleo to hike the price of its opioid overdose reversal autoinjector more than 600% in less than three years.
Walgreens, a drugstore chain in the US, has partnered with pharmaceutical company kaléo to offer increased access to an alternative epinephrine auto-injector called AUVI-Q in response to the continuing EpiPen shortage.
Spot shortages persist for Mylan’s lifesaving EpiPens and the epinephrine injectors of some of its rivals, but Kaléo is making sure the public knows its version is available. You just can’t run to your pharmacy and expect to get a box.
