Privately-held US pharma Kaléo has announced the relaunch date and details of an access program for its AUVI-Q (epinephrine injection, USP) auto-injector to treat life-threatening allergic reactions.

The alternative to the EpiPen (epinephrine) auto-injector, which has been sold by Netherlands-incorporated Mylan (Nasdaq: MYL) at prices which have drawn widespread criticism, will be available by prescription nationwide from February 14.

Kaléo has billed its AffordAbility access program as the first of its kind, claiming that it will offer 200 million Americans with commercial insurance, including those with high-deductible plans, the ability to obtain AUVI-Q for $0 out-of-pocket.
