With the controversy over Martin Shkreli's 5500% price increase for a legacy anti-parasitic drug, and the enormous price increase in the Epipen I was happy to find a link to a Consumer's Reports article on a "generic" alternative to the Epipen. http://www.consumerr...en-alternative/

My granddaughter Sofia carries the Epipen. I imagine that some forum members or their loved ones have severe, possibly life-threatening allergies, so I hope that this info is helpful.

Thank you for sharing this--I hope someone will find it helpful. The price gouging is so shameful.

Thanks for the tip George.  The Arizona Republic stated in this mornings paper there is no alternative.
