Fish Oil

[anonymous]

Im a rep for a specialty company with 21 years experience. Been around along time. I have GREAT insurance. I was thinking about buying some of your stock. . Got my FP doc, my wife, to write me a rx. This shit was over 100 dollars!!! I printed the coupon off the website and it was a couple of bucks. I skipped buying this stock. How the f does your company think it can charge 100 bucks fior some fish oil.... BCBS isnt ever going to cover it at that price point. I get you funded trails to PROVE a reduction, even better than a fibrate... but what is your leadership thinking. Your Nams, cams and mc account managers are going to have a hard time ever getting it covered. Noone will buy this company bc of it. Have your leadership never heard of economies of scales? Damn i guess red yeast rice is still better than fibrates, statins, and fish oil. Ask a 100 year old Chinese or japanese.... I still cant get over it..... fish oil for 100 dollars who came up with that shit. Little pharma dreamers...... i bet your management ends up blaming reps or metrics.... Amarin is a sinkng ship.... watch the rats jump off shortly.

Lol you must not know how insurance works. The voucher brought it down to dollars you said so what's the problem? Yes every branded drug will run a higher copay without a voucher card, but it's all based on insurance tiers. You've already proven yourself dumb by comparing this to simple fish oil. It is not. So it should not be placed at the same price point as those supplements you find in the pharmacy aisle but go ahead and pick those instead. Also you say to prove reduction even better than a fibrate...further demonstrating your level of understanding in any of this. How the hell can you even call yourself specialty? Idiot. Go eat your red yeast rice.

How long is 2 dollars a script going to pay for you to spend your time with docs or career defending a common fish oil??? They said you proved which i assume means they read the 1 study you have. If your product was a new class or a unique in class med it may justify q large 3rd tier or cash pay. It just doesnt. Ask 10 pharmacists in your territory tomorrow if they can get customers to pay that for fish oil..... Then ask 10 patients in a waiting room.... you get the point? As a company you ARE NOT convincing drs to use it. Then ur fight ia at the pharmacy and then with the patient........ your compaby will spend too much time DEFENDING it to evef make a huge impact..... It is not a stock for the long term. Your management will soon start cashing out to pad that golden parachute as they leave....

Yep you clearly don't know what you're talking about. 80,000+ scripts a week currently shows we ARE convincing doctors to use it. This is double from last year's output. Why are they, because yes, we did have a study that shows a direct proven benefit of our drug, not any other omega 3 or fish oil as you put it. Just because you are not educated on the differences does not mean the doctor's do not understand. Managed care is an area of concern because not everyone has access, but that's how it is with most branded drugs. You dont see worth? Go ahead and take something else. We do not need your support or approval.

I agree with this- sure managed care coverage could be better, however no one cares what the coverage is until they are actually interested in prescribing it. That’s our job, and the more we drive demand the better the coverage will be.
