Ok,

I applied for a job in the east coast and was assured that this was a 3 year contract. I'm a former major league pharma rep that is now in the hunt for this job with NovaQuest. And now I see that the indication for gout goes generic next year?

There is no way I'll take this job now--I'm better off on unemployment!

Yep!
 
























Bottom-tier product - at best. With the cost of the drug, patient groups lobbying the FDA for generic colchicine approval, physicians will prescribe NSAIDs, corticosteroids and xanthine oxidase inhibitors for acute relief. Colcrys will take the 1.5% of the patients which do not adequately respond.

If that's the case, they better revise their strategy. Bringing a 200 year-old compound into the marketplace for 14 months at that price may sound good in the Boardroom, but not to physicians who prescribe and patients who pay.

Why don't you just announce that you are a DM and what territory you manage! Drink some more kool-aid too, I heard 'Crazy Grape' is the flavor of the month. If by 'future therapies' you mean 'other illegal products that the FDA is trying to have companies brand' then yes, hopefully they come out with 5 or 10 more....and soon!
 






























Hey doofus, the last bunch of patents expire in 2029. The exclusivity is up next July. This recycled drug won't go generic until at 2015 and they'll spend your bonus money on the lawsuit.
