Sanofi this week that it will be slashing the list price of its most widely prescribed insulin, Lantus, by 78%, and its short-acting Apidra by 70%. According to Sanofi, with the price discounts, no insured patient will pay more than $35 out of pocket for insulin.The new prices will go into effectJanuary 1, 2024. Sanofi launched its unbranded biologic for Lantus at 60% less than the branded list price. But, according to Olivier Bogillot, Sanofi's head of U.S. General Medicines, inherent structural challenges prevented the U.S. health system from taking advantage of the discount. Now Sanofi is joining other drugmakers like who are providing hefty discounts to both their biosimilars and branded insulins.

Sanofi cuts U.S. list price of Lantus®, its most-prescribed insulin, by 78% and caps out-of-pocket Lantus costs at $35 for all patients with commercial insurance Paris, March 16, 2023. Sanofi announces that it will cut the list price of Lantus (insulin glargine injection) 100 Units/mL, its most widely prescribed insulin in the U.S., by 78 percent. The company also will establish a $35 cap on out-of-pocket costs for Lantus for all patients with commercial insurance, underscoring its longstanding commitment to offer affordable access to medicines. These moves, which go into effect January 1, 2024, will come in addition to decisions taken in June 2022 to lower diabetes medicines costs: the launch of an unbranded Lantus biologic at -60% versus Lantus list price, and a cap on out-of-pocket costs on insulin to $35 for all people without insurance. With all those decisions, now Sanofi’s suite of savings programs ensures that no patient will pay more than $35 for a monthly supply of Lantus. Finally, Sanofi will also cut the list price of its short-acting Apidra (insulin glulisine injection) 100 Units/mL by 70%. Olivier BogillotHead, U.S. General Medicines, Sanofi“Sanofi believes that no one should struggle to pay for their insulin and we are proud of our continued actions to improve access and affordability for millions of patients for many years. We launched our unbranded biologic for Lantus at 60 percent less than the Lantus list price in June 2022 but, despite this pioneering low-price approach, the health system was unable to take advantage of it due to its inherent structural challenges. We are pleased to see others join our efforts to help patients as we now accelerate the transformation of the U.S. insulin market. Our decision to cut the list price of our lead insulin needs to be coupled with broader change to the overall system to actually drive savings for patients at the pharmacy counter.” Sanofi Savings Programs Sanofi will continue to provide different programs to ensure access and affordability to patients depending on their coverage situations and will continue to monitor policy and market changes.
