LOL WHAT IS HAPPENING?


everyone in this thread is correct. Just lost my 2 top (and only) prescribers due to issues at the pharmacies having issues running the card or whatever. I’m embarrassed and so over it. this is impossible and mark my words- Kowa will go under. We’re doomed. I’m applying elsewhere as I type this.
 









For the most part, the company treats us well. At least this is true where I am. With that being said, this is effed up! Symphony is messed up, and the copay card administrator is as equally effed! So now what?
Treats us well? I feel like I have been kicked around and beaten since this whole thing began! Too many unrealistic expectations and zero support from home office people, almost without exception. We need to get back to the old normal, with internists and cardiologists and actual samples. A tiny bit of coverage and a working copay card would be nice too. Guess that’s too much to ask these days!
 



What is wrong with the co pay cards? Is this the pharmacy staff not inputting the codes correctly or the cards themselves do not work?

The biggest problem with this product is the distribution at the pharmacy level and limited data. However Kowa is banking on the fact that providers will just keep putting the scripts through. Flawed logic.

The whole “no matter what it’s 25 dollars” sales pitch is total bullshit. Kowa sent us to the battlefield with fake guns and told us to shoot. And know they are wondering why we are losing the fight.
 









Yeah, so with inflation higher everyday, food prices through the roof, and gas at $5–$7 per gallon (thanks to Biden and the rest of his liberal r*****s) our patients are supposed to go out and try to a script filled for an expensive, commercial brand pain product vs cheap and available generic options. No effect on the lack of product sales I’m sure.... what in the hell is Kowa thinking??
 



I’m confused on Kowa’s direction. I thought they would want to stay in the internal / cardiology space. Since most of the relationships are there. The new drug is something totally different.
 









You need to realize that Livalo is going away soon, so sell Seglentis or look for another job. Start by getting scripts for you and your family for 25$

I assume you’re in management. I think you should look for another job yourself. of course Livalo is going away soon…. And yet you guys selected the WORST drug possible, with the most unorganized leadership, to replace it. Kowa is going out of business. We’ll ALL be looking for new jobs soon. Oh and by the way… it’s not really $25 if no one can use the card right or get it for that price. And I know that deep down you know the truth.

Why has Kowa Japan been so quiet? I want to know what they have to say or have been thinking? Why did they decide to go into the acute pain market? Since all the success was in the cardiology / internal medicine with Livalo being so successful.

We have never heard from Kowa Japan in all the years Kowa has been around. What are you even talking about?
