Silly Novo rep, you POD-like mentality is showing. LEARN the SCIENCE of these drugs, you would understand the side effects are attenuated.
Still Takeda has the only options that impact core metabolism and the true nature of metabolic homeostasis, your GLP-1 causes severe nausea and most patients won't want to inject themselves with such large needles everyday. Thanks for playing.
Bait and switch and gonna redirect the success of this drug, sorry. Again doctors are not worried about the SE of this drug.
All they care about is cost. They don't care that the efficacy is minimal, they give it because they think it's less expensive than the only one that really works. If the Drs were smart, they would realize the other one is much less expensive that Contrave but they only see our voucher cost and are buying into it. We are lucky doctors are book smart and lazy with no common sense.
Efficacy is subjective; compliance is the key. You bet they are gonna try it on their patients the drug is non controlled, easy to write and has lots of bang for the buck.
Two patients in my territory already lost 10-12 LBeees in two weeks. They are thrilled.
Actually if u knew they did that to Aricept 23mg it became Aricept 10mg bid. Regardless of dosing, efficacy indication etc... Managed care changes branded drugs to generics all the time. The reason for branded drugs to generic is when managed care pharmacy costs rise. Currently you operate outside of managed care pharmacy budget. When C (Q) gets on 3rd tier and begins costing budgets then letters will go out to doctors, patients, pharmacists etc to switch to generics. Getting on formulary will hurt you in the long run. Long term generic combo is a dead end.
Cost rebate program is awesome as long as competitors don't do the same thing...lol...lol....lol.
No MC will try and switch patients to the generic form. They are currently blocking a prescription if a doctor wrote both generics. At least that's what my doctors are telling me.
And why would they be blocking both Rx..safety? Its not because they want to protect big Pharma, its money. The rebate card prob goes into affect not costing pharma budget anything. When MC makes a class decion then expect to see generic step edits. A cash will fix this. You don't have to go through MC just pay cash. Problem is you are pushing the rebate cards outside of MC meaning MC has no say in this process. For rebate cards, cash pay, both Rx will get filled. from a friendly competitor.
Funny your best bet is to stay off of MC. Basically, be like phentermine go to Costco for a $15 cash price and managed care.
We will be lowering our price soon and Belviq will be taking all the business. Your launch is over. Lol.
So is your job. Sad that they are cutting the sales force to offset the loss in revenue.
Takeda is only expanding to due to increased demand, everyone else is cutting. Expect the axe to fall at Novo next, all the Takeda legacy there will soon be saying 'I'm sorry I took the job'

Takeda is not expanding you home office shill
We are a third in sales size and still doing 3x contrave sales. Figures, it takes 3 takeda reps to almost beat a Trx competitor.
We launched 3 months ago lol. Just wait until June and lets see where these numbers are
are looking DAMN good at Takeda. Demand is so high we've changed pharmacy implementation. Belviq and Qysmia had horrible launches, we've already beat them and they didn't get 5,000 scripts their first 3 weeks.
Victoza didn't get 5,000 scripts in first 3 weeks and neither did Linzess. All the Takeda legacy droppings are at Novo and TAP droppings are at Ironwood or Gilead
All the good reps stayed at Takeda and are kicking ass with either Contrave or Brintellix!

My son who will be 17 on this April 27 is taking Contrave as prescribed by our doctor. It is working wonders for him--however; I don't think we can afford the cost anymore. Because he is under 18, the Contrave savings card I downloaded does not work---so I am to pay $218 for a 1 month supply. His first month is up, and I didn't get the prescription filled yesterday because I am not able to get a price break. Are there any alternate ways to get a discount, or mail-in rebate? Could the age 18 requirement be waived? I also am taking Conrtrave and it is a life-saver for me--I got it for the discounted $70 price, which still is pricey, but I can swing that. If you have any suggestions for this issue, please email me at jeannerankin@yahoo.com.
