I hate to say this but I have a handful of high prescribers that are really giving this "me too" a good try. I can't figure out why because coverage is bad and its not covered by our state public aid. I am concerned because two of the Drs. told me it will supplant Abilify if it works. I know that 3 of the 5 are speakers but I still don't get it. These guys have never been the first to jump on the bandwagon this early. They usually wait at least 6 month before they try something. It scares me because even though they are just using samples, they are using a lot of samples. I have to do something. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
The only idiots who will use Latuda are the paid greedy whores and the sample mongers who hand out samples like tic tacs. No scripts will be processed at the rx level. Pharmacist will red flag this brand in a flash and call dr. back and explain to patient they can get similar med for half the cost. End of discussion.
Word on the street is that nationally they have less than 40 Rx's YTD. There's a reason we don't care.
Latuda, nothing more than once a day Geodon. And we all lnow how much market share Geodon has, so why worry!
Latuda is starting to crank! Big numbers coming out very soon. This will hurt Abilify Seroquel and Geodon.
