Epinephrine oxidizes into ADRENOCHROME

Why EpiPens expire so quickly

Why EpiPens expire so quickly

Mylan chief executive Heather Bresch said one thing at a contentious hearing last week that should be music to the ears of people with life-threatening allergies: Her company will soon push to extend the shelf life for EpiPen.

Currently, EpiPens expire 18 months from date of manufacturing. Facing criticism for the drug's rapidly rising price, Bresch said the company hopes the expiration date can be extended to a minimum of 24 months.

To make the case, Mylan will need to convince regulators that their data demonstrates that a new EpiPen formulation can remain effective for months longer.

"We hope, within the next 12 months, we will have approved a new formulation that will extend the shelf life," Bresch said during Thursday's hearing.

[Mylan's EpiPen profits are 60 percent higher than it told Congress]

An extension would increase the time between refills and help quell a common complaint among patients and parents who have to toss out unused EpiPens annually and buy new ones. There's a common misconception that EpiPen's shelf-life is just a year, because time elapses between the manufacturing of the drug and when people pick up their prescriptions.

This wouldn't be the first time EpiPen's expiration date was altered. In 2002, the shelf life was 27 months, but a formulation change by the then-owner Meridian Medical Technologies required a shorter expiration date, said Theresa Eisenman, a spokeswoman for the Food and Drug Administration. Initially, the approval was for 20 months, but subsequent data supported 19 months. The company decided to use 18 months, she said.

EpiPens are, fortunately, needed only in emergencies. Discarding them unused on a regular basis can feel wasteful, particularly when the price tag has gone up to more than $600 for a pack of two – but it's also critical that they work, exactly as designed, when they are needed. Doctors say questions about the expiration date of the product come up all the time.

The origins of EpiPen's expiration date

EpiPen's shelf life has been limited by the chemistry of the drug inside it. Epinephrine is an old and cheap medication, but it's also notoriously finicky. If exposed to light, heat or air, it can degrade, turning rust colored.

The FDA-approved label warns that if the liquid in the pen is discolored, it should be discarded: "Epinephrine solution deteriorates rapidly on exposure to air or light, turning pink from oxidation to adrenochrome and brown from the formation of melanin."

But what about an expired EpiPen that looks perfectly normal?

The little published data that exists shows that the drug degrades over time – and color is not an accurate way to gauge whether the epinephrine inside is still good.

Reminder of WV Joe Manchin is one of the biggest swamp creatures in DC. The West Virginia University prez had political aspirations and was trying to buy favor with the Gov Joe so WVU falsified records and awarded Heather with an MBA that she only 1/2 way earned.

How do you know Heather Bresch? She is the CEO of Mylan (supposedly after sleeping and blackmailing her way to the top in record time) who is directly responsible for the whole Epi-pen price gouge controversy.

Joe Manchin AND his wife (Carole, now dead) were both in on it. They brought daughter Heather in on the deal. Just couldn't resist the promise of all that sweet dirty money.

Some of the links from the Carol Palladino story work, and some don't. (What does it mean. Com) But even Wikipedia agrees that Heather Bresch is known for raising the price of an EpiPen 400%.

>Carole Paladino "Probable Witness"

"Now deceased Carole Paladino, this report details, was the lead school nurse for Millville Public Schools located in Cumberland County, New Jersey-and whose inclusion in the SVR's database of "potential witnesses" against the Clinton Foundation was due to her being a "central identified and named figure" in the creation of a document titled "Training Protocols For The Emergency Administration Of Epinephrine" for the New Jersey Department of Education.

Epinephrine (also called adrenaline), this report explains, is a hormone used to treat anaphylaxis-that is a serious allergic reaction that is rapid in onset and may cause death-and whose administering of is done via a medical device known as an epinephrine autoinjector-whose name of use in the United States is EpiPen-and that the Carole Paladino collaborated on report for its "emergency administration" led New Jersey to pass a law requiring all schools in their State, both public and private, to purchase it-and their passing another law allowing New Jersey school nurses to, also, use EpiPens without parental permission.

Whether knowingly, or not knowingly, Carole Paladino, by her being a "main target" person in the plot to force all New Jersey schools to purchase EpiPens, this report continues, she nevertheless became embroiled in one the largest medical scams ever known in US history-that began when the American global generic and specialty pharmaceuticals company Mylan N.V. suddenly began funneling money to the Clinton Foundation-and that nearly immediately after which, saw Gayle Conelly Manchin take over as the head of the National Association of State Boards of Education-and who spearheaded an unprecedented effort that encouraged States to require schools to purchase medical devices that fight life-threatening allergic reactions-that, in turn, helped pave the way for Mylan N.V., maker of EpiPens, to develop a near monopoly in school nurses' offices throughout the United States-with New Jersey being one of the 11 States drafting laws requiring epinephrine auto-injectors by bought by schools-and that the Obama-Clinton regime conspired with using their "EpiPen Law" that gave funding preference to States that did what Gayle Conelly Manchin told them to do.

Unbeknownst to the American people, though, this report notes, is that Gayle Conelly Manchin is the mother of Heather Bresch-who, in 2012, right after her mother took control of the National Association of State Boards of Education and began her campaign to force schools to buy EpiPens-became the CEO of EpiPen maker Mylan N.V.-with Heather Bresch, upon taking control, raising the price of EpiPens over 400% to $600 per dose and skyrocketing her personal worth to over $27 million-and whose "protection" for this vile plot was provided by her father, and Gayle Conelly Manchin's husband, Democratic Party US Senator Joe Manchin."

To an even greater scandal-catastrophe awaiting Hillary Clinton, as it dwarfs to near insignificance her EpiPen one, this report further notes, is her "active and knowing" participation in the United States opioid crisis-that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns whose drug overdoses attributed to in the US have increased by 13.3 percent from August 2016 to August 2017, and now total 67,344 deaths per year-nearly all of which were deliberately caused by Oxycontin-maker Purdue Pharma-who, after funneling tens-of-millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation, saw the Obama-Clinton regime to a "blind eye" to their flooding of America with opioids-and as exampled by Democratic Party US Senator Joe Manchin's home State of West Virginia being flooded with more than 780 million opioid pills, that roughly equals 433 pills for every man, woman and child in his State.

This report, after describing the horrific opioid crisis in America, concludes with SVR analysts noting that this past week, also, provided an explanation as to the why the FBI task force investigating Hillary Clinton and her Clinton Foundation has been increasing their electronic communications with the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Tennessee-and that is due to a shocking court case currently underway in Knoxville, Tennessee-that was brought against the Clinton Foundation bribed pharmaceutical giant Purdue Pharma by Tennessee Attorney General Herbert H. Slatery III on behalf of the citizens of his State-and whose shocking to the conscience just released, by order of the court, documents stunningly reveal…

Q Research General #2059: "For Baker" Edition

Mylan CEO on Inflating EpiPen Prices: I Wasn't Going to Apologize 'for Operating in the System'

Heather Bresch, the CEO of Mylan N.V., argued she and her company, which drew controversy for increasing the price of EpiPen devices by nearly 500 percent, had nothing to apologize for since they were "operating in the system that existed."

Bresch, who is also the daughter of Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin (W.Va.), appeared Monday on CNN's "Boss Files" podcast with Poppy Harlow to discuss her tenure at the helm of the pharmaceutical giant.

Mylan first sparked controversy in 2016 when it came to light the company raised the price of a two-pack EpiPen injector from around $100 in 2007, when it first acquired the life-saving treatment, to over $600 in 2016, when it controlled 85 percent of the drug's the market share. The company's decision to hike the price of EpiPen 15 times, nearly 500 percent, in less than a decade drew widespread rebuke and accusations of price-gouging.

In between commenting about the "ambition gap" between men and women in corporate America, and the need to properly "classify" paid parental leave, Bresch was asked what drove Mylan's decision to hike the price of EpiPen's to historic highs.

The CEO claimed it was important to grasp the "broken [pharmaceutical] system," where prices rise annually, to understand why Mylan acted in such a manner.

"First, in context, I do think it's important - and I have again said this - that to understand the system, and it is a broken system for sure," Bresch said. "But the system, of the fact, that prices increase for every product … It's the only industry that price goes up every year, whether you're on the market 30 years, 40 years, 50 years."

She added that pharmaceutical companies often use the profits made from increasing prices on the drugs they manufacture to reinvest in their companies.

"There's a lot of reasoning for that," Bresch said. "Taking those dollars, you're reinvesting them in the product itself, you're re-investing them to bring other products to the market. There's a whole portfolio of reasons about why these prices increases happen and what then that money goes to [in terms of] reinvestment."

The CEO admitted that Mylan used the profits increased from hiking EpiPen prices to invest in "brand awareness" in an effort to ensure her drug was purchased in greater volume.

"Mylan, at the time, we had invested, over this decade that the prices increases happened, we had invested about a billion dollars back into EpiPen and to the awareness," Bresch said. "I realize that people were very ill prepared for an anaphylactic event, in fact, were very ill-informed about anaphylaxis … so we did brand awareness, we changed the product design … we did a lot of things."
