The samples/vouchers are meant to provide the patient for a safety and efficacy free trial. If the samples are ineffective or cause side effects they will not fill their prescription..hence no sales for the company, only an expense on the samples. This is far better than receiving a 30 day script and throwing it away due to side effects. Actipatch samples need to be distributed to high targeted Pain clinics for the same reasons.

BTW, the physician does not make money on the samples, only the office visit. In fact, the physician does not even make money on the prescription, only the pharmaceutical company does.

I may be wrong, but for NHS reimbursement, is an Actipatch only reimbursed via a physician prescription. Or, is it reimbursed by NHS for direct consumer purchase? TIA
