Sanofi, one of the three major insulin makers in the US, has announced a 78% reduction in the list price of its most widely prescribed insulin, Lantus, and a $35 monthly cap for those with private insurance. Uninsured Americans are eligible for Sanofi’s Insulins Valyou Savings Program. President Joe Biden praised the move, and Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk have also announced changes to how they price their insulin this month. The Inflation Reduction Act and the actions of the three major insulin makers are a step in the right direction to make insulin more accessible and affordable for people with diabetes.
