Page 10 - Mylan EpiPen
P. 10
In late August 2016, social media postings about Bresch’s
compensation package and the price hikes began to pick up
pace as public opinion went into overdrive. One online
petition asking Mylan to lower the price of EpiPens gained
more than 80,000 signatures. Moreover, the dramatic rises
in the American price for the auto-injector led to some
patients and their relatives using social media to share
advice on how to order the device from New Zealand, where
it is significantly cheaper.
