The clam before the storm.

It goes well with the special sauce your manager leaves in your mouth.
it's gonna happen sooner than later...be ready for the BIG reorg. once again..
Any idea when? Everyone needs to be looking and preparing now.
Novartis has been wanting to get out of PC for the last three years. They realized that Diovan generic and Tekturna a bust they do not need a PC sales force. They are milking Exelon in 2014 and will exit PC at the end of this year. The new HF drug if approved will be launched in spring of 2015 you will get a chance to interview at that time. If your manager is around you have a shot to get a position, otherwise goodby. They will need only 20% of you and outside reps will also be interviewed. If the new HF drug does not show a 30% plus improvement it will never be accepted by manage care so sales will be low. The FDA is well aware of the Novartis tainted studies in the past Tekturna, Diovan so there will be more careful before they approve this drug prediction more data needed .
Really? A blockbuster drug and they will only need 20% of their existing sales force? Then hire from outside? For what? It's not a specialty drug. It's for primary care docs and cardiologists. Gen meds has already been in these offices....

Why would heart failure be a PC drug. Isn't heart failure treated by HF specialists and/or cardiologists? Although I believe wishful thinking, I do not think PC docs will be the focus, nor do I think they would typically treat HF. I have to agree with the other post this will be a specialty drug with a specialty sales force not PC.
And they very well may be kept... They will just have to apply for the job and go up against external candidates with more recent cardio experience. There won't be any gimmes this go around. PC all gone with option to apply for the newly created positions selling LCZ.
