The GPO contract Sandoz won effective 3/1/11 may be showing up in the script numbers to some degree because there is some overlap in the IMS databases for hospital and retail pharmacies.

Dew I respectfully disagree with this statement.. The data we are seeing is strictly retail.. outpatient pharmacies may be some overlap, but not enough for this bump.. It is mostly due to an increase in High dose scripts per some information I am privy to. In order to see hospital data we need to see "non-retail" or sometimes referred to as DDD IMS Data..
