Generic advair





was just going to post that.

Wonder what the #’s will look like for Symbicort? And if bleeding,how the brains at HQ will spin it?

Can’t help but wonder also what happens to the LABA/lama class if plans decide to step through generic Advair first. Who knows, Daliresp may become the lead product soon.

I bet they have already spun off..lol! Bet they blame the field too! It’s always our fault:(!!
 
















They are getting all of their business from Advair. Why are all you people freaking out. No doctor is going to write for Wixela instead of Symbicort. Lots of freaking out for nothing

You must be new. Doctors are definitely going to write Wixela instead of Symbicort when insurance companies start telling them the patient must try a generic first. Won't be long til this starts happening"

Already happening w/ some commercial payers. Will take longer for Med D due to contract obligations.

EL OH EL! Wait until the hospitals start booting Symbicort off formulary and replacing it with Wixela. Go away newbie. Let the adults talk.
 








No offense. Last poster clearly has no understanding of how managed care works, nor the GSK brand for generic program, which is more attractive than either SYMBICORT or WIXELA offering. Nor Mylan’s strategic ‘sweetener’ option. Good chunk of plans mandate Gx Tier 1 and brands NF, just the way it is. Another chunk of plans do indeed look at best incentives to formulary value, but GSK’s AG plan and brand for Gx give WIXELA and any other option a run for their money. Prices for ADVAIR in MEDICAID already so low, forget about it.
