OREX-NOOOOOOO

Wow! Been in Pharma for 20 yrs and have never seen something so out of whack statement wise. Formulary drives the tier for availability but when you have meds overridden on PA's as a less desirable tier status that should tell you something.

Yes, it tells you that Suboxone Films are easier to divide up and distribute with an exacto knife, and is a more recognizable name on the street, so patients ask for it. Once patients get used to how to divert Zubsolv they won't care.

The offices definitely don't care. Remember, they started their Suboxone clinics for easy money, they're not going to make it harder than it needs to be. They will cave and write what the MCOs require them to write, which will be whatever is cheapest.

...And the cheapest is generics, not Suboxone or Zubsolv. This is a generic marketplace.
 






AS an FYI I too work for RB and can't stand to be associated with morons like you who don't understand our business model. Before you start ripping competitors know your own business! You make us all look like idiots as trur RB employees know that the real reason why strips did so well was they were priced substantially lower than the tablets - nothing else.

So many people on this board pretending to be someone else. The above poster calling the Film "strips". You don't work for RB! That's why it seems that nobody gets it right - it's because they really don't get it.

They started their clinics for easy money? That's not only an ignorant statement, but an insult to a majority of Suboxone doctors that do this for the right reasons. You clearly don't know shit.
