Mayo-Backed Nonprofit to Make Cheaper Insulin

If you caught President Biden’s first State of the Union Address last week, you know that bringing drug prices down is at the forefront of his administration’s goals. In that same vein, a recent KIMT3 News article discussed a new non-profit organization that aims to make insulin more accessible for Americans. The company is called Civica Rx, and it was co-rounded by the Mayo Clinic. It plans to manufacture and distribute a variety of insulin products including Glargine, Lispro, and Apsart, which are alternatives for Lantus, Humalog, and Novolog, respectively.
