Another interesting point about those lists...

Not only does ELTP own ANDA's for the top 3 drugs filled without insurance coverage, but also amlodipine is in the top 10 on both lists. I have a buttload of patients who take amlodipine for blood pressure, and if STEADYPD-III is positive, I will change a goodly number of those scripts to isradipine. I love using generic drugs that have multiple benefits, and in the next few months, we will hear if isradipine fits that description. Why would I continue to prescribe a calcium channel blocker that only decreases blood pressure when I could prescribe a different calcium channel blocker that lowers BP and also protects against neurological damage? The STEADY results are all I'm waiting for, and as soon as positive results are available, I will start prescribing it. I will not need to wait for FDA to say anything about it. I'll just start prescribing isradipine instead of amlodipine for BP, and I bet a lot of PCP's will eventually be doing the exact same thing.
