Lilly's Lispro Authorized Generic Now Available in US Pharmacies
Here is a brief preview of this blast: Lilly announced that its insulin lispro authorized generic (LAG) is now available. In March 2019, Lilly disclosed its intention to launch the AG at a 50% lower WAC price compared to Humalog; $137.35 per vial (assumed to be a 10mL vial) and $265.20 for a package of five KwikPens. According to the press release, Lilly said it is working with payers to gain broad coverage of the LAG; however, at least one large national payer, ESI, recently said it will not cover the LAG. Below, FENIX provides thoughts and context to Lilly's LAG lispro launch.
