      Today's announcement of the first FDA-approved generic version of EpiPen represents meaningful progress for American patients, and is good news for everyone who needs access to life-saving treatments for severe allergies. http://go.usa.gov/xUMEu

      This announcement also speaks to a broader trend. @US_FDA has outlined a Drug Competition Action Plan (DCAP) which is meant to speed approvals and increase competition. As a result, just this July, they approved a record number of generic drugs for a month, at 126.

          As part of DCAP, we’ve highlighted all the instances where, as with EpiPen, there is a drug that is no longer patent protected but doesn't face any generic competition, and laid out guidance to help speed the approval of complex generics. http://go.usa.gov/xUHDY

          This is just one strategy of our blueprint to put American patients first. The men and women of @HHSGov are continuing to look at every facet of our programs, authorities, and spending to improve the health and well-being of every American.https://www.hhs.gov/drugpricing

          Of the 126 that were approved, were any asthma inhalers?

          This is so huge and took way too long to get here. I watched a coworker/friend almost choke to death during a working lunch because he unknowingly ate something he is allergic to. Thankfully we have medics on site. He now carries a current epi-pen. It has to be replaced yearly.
