Wow what do they think this is? It's a cough med. Not a life saving drug. My doctors are getting call backs from pharmacists and they are switching it. Whose idea was this? These guys have no clue what they are doing.

Its too bad you have all cash pay business. Can you imagine what you could make if you went after insurance business? Where copays are $30-35 avg. imagine that...
 
























A quick lesson in Rx pharma pricing tactics: As a drug manufacturer, when you are giving up on a product, you raise the price dramatically. If you know that the scripts are going away, you try to grab as many dollars for every unit you can. Not only that, but you can let the distributors (McKesson, Cardinal, etc.) know ahead of the price increase and get them to buy a bunch of product at the old price. That helps juice the sales numbers that the company is reporting to investors and Wall Street.

That is why Pernix has jacked the price of Zutripro.

So you're insinuating that zutripro will be gone in the near future? I could see them doing that to rezira maybe...
 






Zutripro makes money at the $180 price. What would be the reasoning behind this.

I get the jack up the price, so cardinal and McKesson buy a bunch. Timing seems right on too with the first quarter coming to a close. But, why would they get rid of it. Seems short sighted.
 


















Not saying they are getting rid of Zutripro. Just that the Company sees that scripts are declining (or that they will be falling in the near future), so they are making up the difference in dollars. Pernix won't scuttle the product altogether for a long time. I assure you commissions will NOT increase as a result of the price bump. Eventually, Zutripro comes out of the bag, and the Company doesn't have to pay commissions on any of the thin trickle of scripts still slipping through -- selling for $300+ a bottle.

At $320 a bottle and $8 per 8oz script pernix isn't paying us any more on their end. It's still 5% per bottle

Ran the numbers I'm currently doing and got the same thing. Absolutely no difference and with the salary cut many will be taking a big cut! This is absolute BS. Idk about you folks but I'm trying to find something else and fast.

But then a generic came. If so- will we have rights to it. This is interesting. They have hardly addressed this increase

I'm assuming you are asking if a company made a generic Zutripro would Pernix have rights to it? There answer is no. If a generic came out for Zutripro, Cypress/Macoven would also put out a generic, and everyone would fight over who was the preferred generic at the pharmacy level.
