Yeah, Sigma and many other companies sell grams of epinephrine for ~$50. The expensive part is getting it in your body.

Actually, the EpiPen only injects 0.3 mg. Or around 0.4 cents worth of epinephrine if you could intake what Sigma is selling.

EDIT: I think I was off by a decimal place... Anyway, the epinephrine is more or less free. Just paying for the device.
