Pharmaceutical company Mylan has made news recently by raising the price of a popular and important drug. Mylan acquired a product by the name of EpiPen in 2007. At the time, the price of the product was approximately $100 per unit. And, thanks to their government-granted monopoly, the price quickly shot up to $600 after Mylan’s acquisition. However, hackers are now challenging that paradigm by showing people how to make their own version of the EpiPen.
Michael Laufer is part of a pharma-hacking group known as the Four Thieves Vinegar Collective, and they have developed an alternative to the ridiculously expensive EpiPen.
Laufer does not have a life-threatening allergy that requires him to carry around an EpiPen. However, he was still outraged at the spike in price which led to the group releasing a video this week and instructions on a DIY EpiPen. Dubbed the EpiPencil, this generic version can be made easily with materials that you can buy online for around $30.
“It functions just as well as an EpiPen,” Laufer says in the video. “With no special training, anybody can use it.”
