"Management spent several minutes on the call trying to explain the script counts."???
Allow me to try my OWN "explanation." FIRST, consider NEW script numbers for some diabetic drugs for JUST the EIGHTH week after their original launch:
Victoza 3,264
Byetta 3,877
Januvia 15,212
Again, note that those are the NRx just numbers for just ONE WEEK! For JUST the eighth week post-launch, afrezza NRx were 223! Two HUNDRED and twenty three!
Then consider that afrezza:
-- has been on the market TWENTY FIVE MONTHS
-- has been presented at TWO ADA meetings,
-- has had ads in "Time" magazine and multiple diabetic magazines
-- has been mentioned in multiple news casts as well as on multiple talk shows
-- has been discussed WIDELY on forums such as tudiabetes and "diabetes mine"
-- was presented to at LEAST 3,000 endos
-- has had around TWENTY FOUR THOUSAND new scripts written since launch
-- has had multiple CME written for it
-- has had "early adopters" tweeting themselves silly
-- has been presented at multiple JDRF and other diabetes related events
...yet the most RECENT weekly NRx was 155! ONE HUNDRED and fifty five!!!
There is only ONE explanation: endos and diabetics have REJECTED the drug.
