If the BIEI product is far superior to the competition, then it could get fast-tracked to the retail shelves. The confluence of samples to patients, who suffer from severe pain, and online availability can evolve into a robust business especially with endorsements. Don't forget that Walgreens et al sell online as well.

I might be presuming too much but I do think BIEI is concentrating on severe pain, thus the sample clientele. Many currently available patches are labeled for minor pain.

Ohms, in order to sell to Walmart, CVS and Walgreen's the products are sold to a distributor at a
wholesale cost, he is the middleman. Then shipped to the retail stores. One such company is
RX One Shop. This could be done after a several month period of sales to show their is a market.
Also, I feel, and I may be wrong, but most people do not go the the doctor for an over the counter
pain medication.
Trying to go through Va hospitals and Doctor's may be a wrong approach. I was in the medical field for 25+ years. If they want to be an over the counter, non-prescription, pain reliever they are going to need
an advertising budget and establish accounts with the major retailers and work with a nation-
al distributor. I hope the company understands this. Also, an area that could be a huge potential
market is arthritis suffers, they are in daily discomfort and purchase a majority of the over the
counter pain meds according to my friend who is a pharmacist. Something else I hope the company
realizes, is if the doctor's can't write a prescription for it they have no incentive, especially if it has
a CBD component in it. Doctor's are the last people to recommend a natural product, they are
taught that a synthetic can only treat a condition.
