Still amazed Olysio has held up so well (NRx as not really declined for weeks) with new all-orals around. Don't get it.

These are likely older prescriptions that are getting filled after a red-tape delay of several weeks.

Why would anyone fill an old prescription and incur the costs (assuming that it is for the Olysio/Sovaldi combo)? It could be the explanation, but I think that it is more likely that some are using that combo for 12 weeks instead of 24 weeks of an all-oral. I'm still surprised.
