It doesn’t matter, symbicort is getting switched to a generic at the pharmacy anyways and the new triple will be a flop. AZ I’m out!
You are wrong SFBs. Where in the USA can a Symbicort script be switched to a generic? Triple will kick it.
It happens in Florida everyday. The pharmacy switch is killing Symbicort, Breo and advair. I agree, the triple will be a bust. AZ will screw it up somehow.
Switching a Symbicort RX for a generic Advair cannot occur without a phone call from the pharmacist to the doctor who RX'd it. The pharmacist cannot do an auto switch. In some states, they can for the branded Advair w/o calling the doc, but since Symbicort is not A/B rated, they cannot.
Now, if a pharmacy chain is getting direction to call providers even if not AB rated it is because they want switches to Wixela. The cost to them vs. what the AWP is nets them $300+ per RX.
All the doc has to say is no..... But two or three calls from a pharmacist to that doctor will have them start thinking they should write generic since they are saving the patient money.
