Jan18 numbers were virtually unchanged from the prior week. It looks like the impressive Jan04 numbers were a holiday-week aberration. Please see separate post for rolling four-week scripts. (Data c/o rkrw.)
NRx=number of new prescriptions; TRx=number of total prescriptions (new+renewal). For recently launched drugs, the trend in NRx is an indicator of what can be expected for TRx with a modest time lag. NRx% and TRx% are calculated as NRx and TRx divided by the number of new and total prescriptions, respectively, for all drugs in the HBV category. (A prescription is counted as new whenever it is newly written, even if the patient is already taking the drug.)
