Neurocrine is Hiding Ingrezza Hospitalizations

Why isn't Neurocrine being proactive in informing their physicians that Ingrezza has hospitalized people? The FDA made Neurocrine add hopsitalizations to their PI and yet no one has informed me of this. Seems only certain physicians have been notified. The speakers.

Seems like it's all in print, so what's the problem?

Parkinsonism: Cases of parkinson-like symptoms (eg, falls, gait disturbances, tremor, drooling, hypokinesia), some severe requiring hospitalization, have been reported. Onset of severe symptoms occurs most commonly within 2 weeks of the start of therapy or a dose increase; may resolve with discontinuation of therapy​

Yes all in print, but you are not informing your prescribers of the change. The company is in willfully not talking about it because they know that the providers do not routinely look up PI info on products they have been prescribing. No one knows about these severe reactions and hospitalizations. Neurocrine has an ethics problem but they will blame it on the prescribers for not knowing of a change that they ethically should be proactively talking to their prescribers about.
 












































Keep hiding your data from the prescribers. Works great until it doesn't.

Look we have a quota to meet. If the doctors don't stay up to date on the drugs they prescribe it's not our problem. The information is their for them to read in the updated PI. If they don't care about causing Parkinsonism in their patients or hospitalizing them, it's on them.

Prime example of the ethics problem here. Get the prescriptions at any cost. This will come back to bite us!
