#3 Mylan has a patent on the delivery system, and herein lies the rub (or Market Value enhancement, depending upon your viewpoint.).

The price of EpiPen will take a temporary hit until their Marketing Department *spit* can come up with something to oil the waters.

A generic is on the way, and Epi is required to maximize their return (Shareholder Value) until (and after) that day.

“Often, price increases are taken at the end” of a product’s patent life, he said. “So that was just consistent with what most companies do.”

#4 The FDA just rejected the Teva Pharmaceuticals generic equivalent. There's been a recall on another generic device on the market (correctly so -- there was a non-zero chance that when actuated the device would deliver no drug). I don't think Mylan is shaking in their shoes, though Heather Bresch may want to go up a half-size on her stilettos for a while...
