Walmart announced the launch of the first-ever private brand analog insulin, which will offer customers a significant price savings without compromising quality.
Available exclusively through Walmart’s private ReliOn brand, the new offering includes analog insulin vials ($72.88) and FlexPen ($85.88). These products will save customers1 between 58% to 75% off the cash price of branded analog insulin products, which translates to a savings of up to $101 per branded vial or $251 per package of branded FlexPens.
The new private label ReliOn NovoLog Insulin (insulin aspart) injection, manufactured by Novo Nordisk, is available in Walmart pharmacies this week, and Sam’s Club pharmacies in mid-July across the United States. ReliOn NovoLog is a rapid-acting insulin analog used to control high blood sugar in adults and children with diabetes. Customers will need a prescription in order to purchase the products and should always consult with their doctor regarding their diabetes management.
I think I have mixed feelings. First and overwhelmingly positive. I am so glad for the low cost retailer to have a lower cost insulin. However, I wonder if this means we are reaching the floor of insulin pricing? I am hoping for more. So, I am thrilled and i am also hopeful.
