I presume that, by hook or by crook, someone on this board will eventually have access to Lovenox scripts from IMS or another source.

I was able to get week one, but my source dried up. (Week one numbers were almost 0).

It used to be that the weekly numbers were available on Monday, for the week ended the prior Sunday. That is why Monday moves down bother me so much. I assume the numbers are out and that Mutual Funds and Hedge Funds have access to the numbers and I don't. I will continue to ask around.

FWIW, IMS data is usually available on Mondays, but how certain individuals obtain it must be via subscription, likely an expensive proposition.

On the AMLN Investor Village board, we typically see such data on Mondays:

followed by:

I remember hearing opposing experts in the Purdue v. Endo patent infringement trial[Oxycontin] argue their respective positions re the accuracy of IMS data. Another data source, supposedly more accurate, was mentioned by both experts, but I no longer recall its name.
