Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Insulin so expensive?

Insulin prices are high not only because three companies dominate the market, but also because of the complicated web of middlemen involved in getting insulin to patients. Pharmacy benefit managers, insurers, and wholesalers all add costs. The result is a system where patients often pay hundreds of dollars for a vial of insulin that costs only a fraction of that to make.

Project Insulin is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (Tax ID: 87-3385962) dedicated to making insulin affordable and accessible for everyone.

Currently we are in the development phase and our insulin is not yet available for patient use, purchase or prescription. Your donation directly funds the work that’s needed to make affordable insulin a reality.
