Efforts to mitigate costs include generic versions, legislative proposals for transparency and competition, and initiatives by insurers and advocacy groups to improve affordability. However, EpiPen pricing remains a heated issue, highlighting the need for systemic reforms to ensure access to affordable, lifesaving medications.
