There is competition, the issue is that Mylan's product is the best
It's not their fault that they have the best product.

There isn’t much competition for the anaphylactic giant. Last October, a device called Auvi-Q was discontinued after reports that it failed to deliver consistent amounts of epinephrine. There is a cheaper alternative available called Adrenaclick, which costs $142 for two pens with a coupon at Walmart and Sam’s Club, according to Consumer Reports, but is administered slightly differently than EpiPens. EpiPens require a simple cap removal, whereas Adrenaclick has two caps that must be removed. Barbara Young, a pharmacist from the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, recommends that patients seek training before administering Adrenaclick. EpiPens also require some training, but are simple enough that a child can generally learn to use it on their own, according to Consumer Reports.
