This act would prohibit a business that is engaged in the manufacture or distribution of epinephrine auto-injectors for dispensing to patients in this State from marketing or distributing epinephrine auto-injectors in a fashion that requires a patient to purchase multiple epinephrine auto-injectors in a single transaction. A business that, on the effective date of this act, is authorized by the federal Food and Drug Administration to manufacture or distribute epinephrine auto-injectors in packaging containing more than a single epinephrine auto-injector would be required to immediately apply for approval to manufacture or distribute epinephrine auto-injectors in packaging containing a single epinephrine auto-injector. Currently, the dominant epinephrine auto-injector product, EpiPen, is sold to consumers only in a package that includes two devices. A single unit package was discontinued in 2011. The bill would require the manufacturer of EpiPen, Mylan, to again make these products available in single unit packages.
