Famed TV nanny, Jo Frost is outraged by the EpiPen price hike and has words for Mylan on behalf of children and families who suffer from Anaphylaxis.
- (1888PressRelease) August 31, 2016 - Los Angeles, CA - In response to the recent news surrounding the Mylan EpiPen, global parenting expert and TV personality best known as the star of Jo Frost: Nanny on Tour and Supernanny, Jo Frost releases the following statement:
"As a parental educator who has lived with life-threatening allergies for as long as I can remember, fortunately I have survived several anaphylactic shocks because I have used my prescription EpiPens. It has been my personal mission to advocate for all families worldwide who live with this medical condition. I am completely, whole heartedly outraged by the recent news and excuses Mylan has given regarding the astronomical price hike of the EpiPen along with their weak attempt to pacify this situation after making this medicine so absurdly expensive when it is such a staple needed in millions of children and families lives who suffer from life threatening allergies daily.
Offering a generic version is not a solution when the prices are still unaffordable for most American families. As the leading brand on the market, Mylan should be working towards saving lives on the ground and not just funding in the education and research arena. The pharmacy companies are profiting on people's vulnerability regarding their fatal medical conditions which is leaving families petrified and helpless.
My advice to Mylan…Be the change! Show true leadership in advocating for the people so that other corporate companies that truly can change the law, do so. This way, we, people who live with Anaphylaxis, can feel inclusion, normalcy and fearless in society."-Jo Frost
