Hey.....isn't this what they told us about Zipsor. Sure we'll get the managed care in due time but not in time before it sinks our ship! What a joke, nobody in corp. even gave a damn if we got manage care for Zipsor and we all know what happened there! Just a matter of time people!
Zipsor and Lysteda are different in that Zipsor and diclofenac are the same and diclofenac is readily avaliable and cheap. But Zipsor and Lysteda are the same in that a generic- diclofenac for Zipsor and generic oral contraceptives for Lysteda, can and will be readily substituted. Same scenario...
Lysteda only has Tier 3 covreage, which means nothing in heavily managed care states, where most of patients have only Tier 2 coverage or Tier 3 plans that have high prescription deductibles. What that means is that in most cases, patients have to pay $175.00 for 30 pills. They would rather spend 40.00 on tampons and pads, or a $10.00 co-pay for generic BC pills. But make sure that you take a picture of a doctor writing a script???What a total joke...
I wish we had this product now...I hate selling Zipsor
If the board had not appointed morons to run the company, just as 2 NDA's got approved in 2009, you would have had you chance.
Honestly, even with a bad economy, is there anyone, anyone at all, who doesn't think that they could have lead a company to profitability which had 2 NDA approvals within 10 months?
Pathetic East Coast Hubris killed Xanodyne, and all the people who spent years building it.
very well,, ferring has it,, cso's getting rolled over,,, i see the samples flying off the shelves in my terr....
sounds like your one of those complainers that cant sell,,,,,,
making all the typical excuses, aren't you guys on a hiring freeze??
Get over Lysteda Xanodyne!!! Its gone! You don't have it and you are not getting it... EVER!! So move on and sell that Zipsor!!!
Trust me, be glad you're not selling the drug...it's a super NICHE drug that was over forecast, has totally underpaid the reps who have killed themselves trying to sell this for 9 months and continue to see absolutely NO CHANGE in sales numbers week to week! It's a very depressing situation and one that looks to take a nosedive for the worst when the contract expires 12/31/2011!!!!!!!!!!
Well one thing was proven and that is Valentino got lucky with his past success and he failed big time with Xanodyne. His success was simply due to being at the right place at the right time. When given the Xano opportunity, he failed big time. Docherty failed as well. Too bad for him that he has never had a lucky success like fat boy because he will never amount to anything.
Say what you want, but they were smart to unload Lysteda, a product that although works very well, physicians are not buying into it as the first choice for heavy menstrual bleeding. No reimbursement advantages, questionable Tier 2 coverage, cash pay of $180.00/mo for a product that has to be taken only for 2 or 3 days/mo.
