The launch is a disaster. The coverage is awful too.

It's a slow launch, but would hardly call it a disaster. It would be nice to have another rep or two in my territory, can't keep up with SOV Allergan & Ironwood reps and ground they can cover. I have a few GI's in trial phase of using samples, those will convert to scripts soon and I'll be on the scoreboard.

You're in the wrong place if you want more SOV.
 


















It's hard to drink the corporate koolaid about Trulance launching already beating Linzess launch, at this point in time. However, isn't anyone looking at the big elephant in the room and noticing the 72mcg of Linzess is launching 3x better than Trulance? Are we creating that market for them?

You make no sense. Idiot.
 












At launch Trulance had a sales force of ~ 250 while Linzess was > 1,300. So Trulance sales force was outnumbered at least 5 to 1.

As of week 5 of launch (April 7), Trulance had 264 TRX count, while Linzess had 216 for week 5 of its launch.
(source Bloomberg Intelligence).

So while sales force outgunned 5 to 1, Trulance still outperformed Linzess launch numbers.

In addition, any success the 72 mg Linzess tablet is having is a tacit admission that the stronger doses have not worked for the patients.

The coverage fucking sucks. They better fix this shit and give me a big bonus or I'm outta here.

Yeah the coverage isn't great which is unfortunate. Samples are really moving, but people are finding it difficult to go through the process of having it covered, even with the hub. I think it would be helpful to have legitimate copay cards instead of the relay program - I think that's hurting us instead of helping.

This guy is a pharmacist and has dispensed dozens of Trulance RX's already. It's as simple as just making sure the patient takes the card to the pharmacy people! Coverage doesn't matter, he even said the card will bypass insurance where it's not covered and will pay down deductibles for patients in high deductible plans. $25 for every patient with commercial insurance, got it? Just make sure the patient has the card and read what pharmacist Kumar has to say about it.

I clicked on that "pharmacist's" blog, what a joke. He must really be a WallStreet trader pumping SGYP stock posing as a pharmacist.
As of April 21, 2017 there have been 1,432 Trulance prescriptions launch-to-date. There are approximately 67,000 retail pharmacies in the United States. I'm supposed to believe this one pharmacist has filled dozens of Trulance prescriptions? He's either a fraud, or committing fraud and "playing Dr" by switching prescriptions without physicians knowledge for him to have such a large sample size of the Trulance national prescriptions. His claims are mathematically impossible, he is committing some sort of fraud, to either his patients and physicians; or SGYP investors.
