--------------------------------------------------------- So my attempt to explain this . Its the revenue per monthly script of OLC vs the revenue of monthly script pf say Sevelmar ( Renvela ) If the monthly revenue for OLC is $2,000 a month and the monthly revenue for generic Selevmar is $200 a month you only need a small percentage of the market for OLC to get to 50% of the Total revenue generated by pho binders in the US .
So 1,000 scripts of OLC X $2,000 per script per month = $2m 1,000 scripts of Selevmar at $200 per script per month = $200,000
So if the total market was $4m a month 1,000 script of OLC gets 50% of that ...ie 10% of market scripts generates about 50% of total market revenue So you need 10,000 scripts of Selevmar to get the remaining 50% of that total monthly market
My quick take . Might write a post later on why 10% of dialysis population would want XPHOZAH , another 20% or so would want an iron based pho drug and at least another 10% would want a third drug Max market potential is probably around 50% of total dialysis population for OLC ...if cost , distribution etc weren't factors
