Hey Turks, if I were Titan, I would be a lot more aggressive on pricing. Rods cost Titan $600 for the six month treatment. Sublocade is selling at $1,580 per month ($9,480 for six months).

Price it at a third of sublocade: $3,000 or so. Literally force insurance companies to prefer probuphine over sublocade. At $3,000 vs $9,480, I think you'd see a lot of insurance companies requiring tapering down to 8mg per day on sublingual before approving subcutaneous, and then pushing towards probuphine.

The people pushing sublocade are treatment centers that aren't equipped to do the probuphine procedure, but insurers have the final say (as we have learned).

Given all that, I don't see why Indivior doesn't just buy Titan and shelve probuphine to eliminate the problem.
