“Epinephrine itself is not an expensive drug, [epipens deliver
about $1 worth of drug, 0.3 mg of epinephrine, on each use]
and it can be administered via syringe. But there are
concerns that loading and injecting the correct dose can not
only take more time in an emergency situation. But can also
be potentially dangerous if administered incorrectly.
EpiPens are seen as a safe delivery method as they are pre-
loaded with a regulated amount of the drug.” Source: Mylan
It is this precise measurement that the EpiPen provides
which is patent protected.
