I’ve been reading a great deal about the beyond unreasonable cost for the current main brand of Epi-Pens. I’d like to offer an alternative to those who simply cannot or perhaps will not pay such an exorbitant amount. Have your doctor write out your prescription (Rx) for Adrenaclick but sign “Substitution Allowed”, have the pharmacy order the generic of it from Lineage Therapeutics. The cost for these Epi-pens is $10 from Costco currently. Same pen, same medical chemical, but more reasonable price. Stay safe out there.

But you have to have a prescription for Adrenaclick not Epi-Pen. The two are just different enough that the FDA will not allow substitution.
The reason is that they are slightly different to use and if you know how to use an Epi-Pen you don’t automatically know how to use Adrenaclick. (So if you do switch, do make sure that the pharmacist instructs you on how to use the new injector).

Also reminder that you can use the pharmacy at Costco without a Costco membership! Their prices for prescriptions in my experience are amazingly low, especially if you’re getting a generic.
