BENTONVILLE, Ark. - Walmart announced that it will begin selling a less expensive version of analog insulin, saying it aims to "revolutionize" access and affordability of the diabetes drug for Americans.
The product, called ReliOn NovoLog, is a rapid-acting insulin analog used to control high blood sugar in both adults and children with diabetes.
It will require a prescription from the patient’s doctor. The retail giant said the analog insulin vials ($72.88) and FlexPen ($85.88) could save customers between 58% to 75% off the cash price of branded analog insulin products, or up to $101 per branded vial or $251 per package of branded, prefilled insulin pens.
