Interesting. Our allergist said almost the exact opposite in that they refused to prescribe EpiPen because it was so much higher than Auvi-Q.

And I wonder when EpiPen started issuing testers. We had them for years (me first, then my daughter) and never got one.

Cost to patient, or cost to insurance. Auvi-Q is much greater cost to insurance, less to patient. The former is still a major concern given how that leads to increased premiums and general medical pricing inflation, even if it briefly benefits the individual.
