…decline in total [Lovenox] scripts in June from May (even after considering holiday).

After adjusting for the Memorial Day holiday week (the first week in June in the script database), the difference in script volume between May and June was minuscule and was well within normal seasonal variation.

Last item brings up competitive issues and longer term concerns.

I doubt that competition had a material effect on the June* script numbers, but it clearly will in the future, as noted in #msg-64862315. Regards, Dew

*Xarelto was not yet approved and Pradaxa was approved only for an indication that is off-label for Lovenox.
