Page 25 - Mylan EpiPen Teaching Note

SALES & REVENUE

For Mylan EpiPen is a complex prescription product,

implying it’s not something a do-it-yourselfer can make in

a garage. But, alternatives do exist and it has been shown
by its latest recall that even large industrial

manufacturers can get it wrong. Competition is growing

and rapidly eroding Mylan’s profits.

The introduction of a generic alternative of the EpiPen by

Mylan is unusual because the branded version is still

under patent and other rival treatments failed to get
regulatory clearance until very recently.
