Surfaxin?

Quote
























It's true. Cardene is hard because it is a much less specialized drug. You have to be able to speak on the level of some pretty important folks at the door to the ER, and also the guy who you pay to get out of the ticket you got for parking in the doctor's lot at the hospital. And you have to get all of this accomplished while waiting in line at the tanning booth.

You mean they have tanning booths in the ER now? Wow!

They could have 3,000 reps, and it wouldn't matter. To understand this, you really have to listen to customers. DSCO burned every bridge it crossed over the past decade, which would be bad enough. The biggest mistake, however, was choosing not to listen to customers regarding the product design. I applaud DSCO for trying to make the discussion about synthetic, but in the end the customer is not going to be pleased with the product features. Good luck to anyone involved, but it is not going to take off.

So a lower death rate and lower cost due to less intubation does not matter?
 






real simple - would you want your child exposed to antigens from an animal or not? Synthetic good - animal derived bad. Look at the insulins, topical thrombins etc. Recombinant/synthetic is the wave of the future and if DL does this right, no parent in their right mind would ever condsider using a animal based product. I wouldnt, and I sell our damn drug.

The last time I checked, the doctor doesn't bring a menu of surfactants to the mother's bedside and let them pick which one they want to be used. Doctors will make their decisions based on data and ease of use. Post #10 is right on the money.
 






I have a friend who just received his offer and will probably take it. His present employer is anticipating another big layoff and he said his group is targeted. He is a hospital rep, but I don't think he has any pediatric or neonatology selling experience. I guess the pay is okay, but the bennies and the car allowance are minimal. Hope he knows what he is getting into with a me-too and zero GPO space.

Right on the money? So a lower death rate for Surfaxin versus Curosurf and lower costs due to less intubation is no porven benefit?

You my friend are and idiot. Ever heard of MAb's. Monoclonal antibodies, you know the most important discovery in oncology in the past 10 years for targeted therapy. Rituxin, Herceptin, Avastin ring any bells? All billion plus molecules. Most are of the chimeric variety meaning half mouse half human. But go ahead and keep telling yourself animal derived is bad. Again, there is a reason you work at cornerstone.

Listen moron, those are two completely different patient populations and disease states. Monoclonal antibodies services old patients and saves lives. When a rapidly developing baby is exposed to animal proteins at such an early age who knows what long term effects this can have.

Yeah and that is the reason most of the insulin produced and sold today is NOT animal derived.
