Use your brain. Every Rx that goes from branded Fx to the AG is more profitable for AZ. Plain and simple. There is a discount on the AG but it is at least half as much as the rebate they would pay for the branded fill.

But if plans are going to “block” it like BI says they are, the sales will dry up.

Plans are not going to block it! BI is just saying this so that the sales force does not completely freak out

Unless it says brand necessary, the pharmacist can dispense the AG if the plan will pay for it.

This is true. Happened to me just the other day

and yet with a high degree of certainty, Jardiance is covered in a preferred position on the overwhelming majority of those health plan formularies. Yet we are so focused on a small handful of plans where AG is covered (for now) instead of discussing Jardiance efficacy and coverage.

Ok, this made me laugh. Either you are a brand new and wet behind the ears rep or from the home office.

what’s the funny part? Doesn’t matter where I am from. The field, leadership, brand marketing, AZ, managed care. All of the above. Health plans and benefit managers don’t do things to lose money. Sticking with the AG will lose them money in the form of lost rebates, and if you do any reading beyond the 5 year old copy of US Weekly in the waiting room, you’ll know that rebates are a major revenue stream for MCO’s.

get your head out of your ass.

So you lost a branded Farxiga script to the AG? That’s where the bulk of their new starts are coming from.

I think your sales AD is failing to train you. I see video role playing in your future.

you keep repeating this, but national sales are over 20,000 Rx and growing! and contracts and rebates will be renegotiated in 10 months. This is why no one is listening to you. Seeing is believing. Actions speak louder than your words. The only person you are convincing is yourself.

Facts are that the AG has between 15-20% market share in most territories within a few weeks. Really don’t see how the toothpaste is going to be put back into the tube at this point.

all that market share is coming from Farxiga brand. Jardiance volume and share continue to grow.

Jardiance is a ‘grower’ and a ‘shower’.

Repeat after me-“Jardiance is not being impacted and will not be impacted by the launch of the AG”

Keep telling yourself that until the call comes!

if Jardiance is being ‘impacted’ it’s because you’re a shit rep who can’t handle an objection that should be a layup.

Your manager and parents should be punched. Then your grade school math teacher. They’ve all failed you.

Agreed! You would have to be a simpleton to think that the AG is not taking away Jardiance scripts, mainly by prescribers being deceived by thinking they are saving their patients money.

I don't know what territories you're talking about... Ive seen maybe a handful, definitely nowhere near 15-20%

Maybe you’re one of the lucky few. The most recent week shows AG at 15% nationally.

So is Jardiance NRx.

And dumbass, any Rx for the AG is an NRx. Latest data show it’s already flattening and actually starting to decline. More and more health plans and PBM’s are putting the AG in a non formulary position too.

try paying attention to Jardiance instead of the AG.

Stating facts is not complaining. Layoffs happen in our industry all the time. It is never a matter if, it is when. Being able to say what is on your mind should not be a sin. This is the attitude that created the current culture of mistrust and fear of speaking up. “Do what you’re told, don’t ask questions or think for yourself!”. If you are a people leader, you are part of the problem.

Insider here- AG up to 20% nationally this week. Mostly taking from brand Farxiga scripts but strategy is to increase AG market share to point where it will get on most formularies by mid-year or at least to start 2025.
