Everyone excited about Ongentys? A Quick Look at my data showed me that I have less than a dozen RXs in my territory. Those of you who have writers already are in for massive pay days! The rest of us….not so much. Our only hope is that this Jet Fuel is priced like regular gas. But do we honestly have any confidence in our Managed Markets team? Have they ever gotten a big win for Rytary? They certainly didn’t for Lyvispah and have nothing to do with Unithroid.

The Miami rep. sure was brave or stupid with her question uhhh statement about the generic version of Ongentys. It really was a buzz kill. Let’s see: we have a generic for Rytary, Emverm, Ongentys, and Unithroid. Did you see the look on Joe’s face? Not a smart move for Lilian. You all better smile and sip the KookAid or your ass is grass.

She’s the Puerto Rico rep. She has probably 5-6 COE wins. I’m not sure what she’s complaining about. She has 0 cost issues with Rytary Put her in Miami or Denver or anywhere else she’s not nearly as successful
I just hope they price it competitively. But I don’t trust Derek to get anything accomplished. And if they price it less than Rytary providers will go there before Rytary. Hopefully they give us more time than they gave the Spasticity folks!

Smoke & Mirrors….. Amneal makes money off the brands and money off the generics of the brands. It is a win win for the company.

There’s no generic for Rytary. There is a generic COMPT but don’t know if Amneal males one. I did hear that we make Unithroid AND generic unithroid. Which is a win win for sure!

Rytary goes generic in 2025 (Actavis). Amneal has been holding off a generic NDA

That’s why the pressure is there for IPX to get approved. According to my manager it’s gonna be pretty close between IPX launch and Rytary going generic. If dosing is easier with IPX then it really shouldn’t be that big an issue. Doctors who are not trying Rytary now because of dosing won’t all of a sudden try it because it’s generic. The big problem is going to be switching patients from Rytary to IPX. If their treatment is working and they can now get it for less, why change? If IPX doesn’t show that big of an improvement over Rytary why start? This drug is a big crap shoot and based on past performances we will screw up the launch and be playing catch up from the get go
 




Doctors don't prescribe Rytary primarily due to cost, not because of dosing issues. If Rytary were more affordable, they would take the time to figure out the dosing. When Rytary becomes generic, there will be no reason to prescribe IPX, or at least not before generic Rytary. It's possible that if Rytary fails, they will turn to IPX, however, that drug is expected to be expensive and likely still difficult to dose. Ongentys is not a new product, not really expecting big things from that drug. 2024 will be the year of turnover company wide.

Yes. Selling a branded expensive COMPT and a branded expensive CD/LD is not going to be easy. It will be the same ole same ole. Puerto Rico FL TX and CA reps will do well. Most everyone else will struggle. And they will absolutely screw up the launch from pricing, to coverage, to messaging to IC plan. Not in panic mode yet but I’m also going to take 2024 to find another job
 




Do the upper management team not know this is the Holiday Season? Most of us are on PTO yet they continue to push stuff they claim as urgent down our throats I mean you give me 72 hours to make reservations for the NSM but the lady actually in charge of that is also on PTO. This place is crazy!

I could not agree more. We work like dogs and finally take PTO, and they are still pushing work down. They have no fucking shame.
 




Happy New Year!
Hope everyone enjoys their Fast Start meetings! Hope everyone enjoys the new VP of Sales who doesn’t appear to have a lot of Sales experience. Hope everyone enjoys selling Ongentys. Hope IPX actually launches. Hope we don’t lose any more reps before NSM. Hope for the best for everyone!

What products are these professional health positions for? Seeing a few in major cities. What products?

Professional Sales Reps sell Unithroid. These are usually new reps or with a year or two of experience in Pharma
Specialty Sales Reps sell Rytary These reps range from new to long time industry veterans. It just depends on what they are looking for

Hope that helps
 




What in the World is going on. Even after we realigned we are still losing folks on the PD side. We’ve lost 3 more this month. How many more before NSM? I was holding on for the IPX launch but I may need to reevaluate. These folks were PC winners. Maybe they know something I don’t.
 




Not surprised, they are micro managing everything and making life miserable! The company does not pay people what they are worth yet they expect you to go to jump through hoops.

I had high hopes for JR. Especially after the Gustavo mess. He at least has energy and people skills. Not sure the acquisition of ONG is a big deal but he seems to be excited he did something! They did get rid of a lot of people who needed gone. They eliminated Spasticity with the loss of only. 4 reps. So that was good. But can we talk about what a disaster HK has been? She has 0 intrinsic selling skills. She has no people skills unless you call. Hitting the bar and getting hammered an interpersonal skill. She doesn’t interact at all with the Sales team. She has no energy to inspire the teams to get better. She just randomly sends RBMs cryptic notes about their reps. She flat out won’t let RBMs be RBMs. She has to look over their shoulder. If you ask me she and her tactics are the reason people are still leaving
 




Kinda hard to sell Rytary when we have no samples. But sure, Senior Management has the time to time stamp all of our calls! You don’t have any sample calls this month! But i have no samples! Doesn’t matter, you need to have sample signatures or else you’ll be on a Plan!
 




What's with the laborious spreadsheet, absolutely splitting hairs! This is what companies do when they are busy trying to sell off your division. The only people who don't know the targets is upper management!
