[Donkees]

Shares of pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly initially fell more than 1 percent after Sen. Bernie Sanders tweeted Tuesday about the price of Lilly's Humalog insulin.

Sanders shared a graphic from a story by The Washington Post that looks at why the price of insulin continues to rise. Eli Lilly's stock is down more than 6 percent over the last week.

@SenSanders: Why has the price of Humalog insulin gone up 700% in 20 years? It's simple. The drug industry's greed.
Sen. Sanders also tweeted about Novo Nordisk and policies regarding drug importation. The stock was down more than 12 percent in the last week after increasing pressure on insulin drugmakers.
