I'm saying that a large number of reps were shifted to the tourjo launch to protect the product turf that is going off of patent protection.

Do you have info you're not sharing or are you guessing? If you don't have info, then how do you know they werent allocated "10 hours a week for Afrezza, 30 hours a week for Lantus/Toujeo" or something similar from the get go?

Nope. Sorry can't say. on the east coast. See my post history tho. Everything I said happened. I'm going take back my "50+ Rxs" comment and just say about 50 Rxs... I don't want people to think it's a lot more. You are a quite credible source of information. Just wondering if you know the ~ 50Rxs, what kind of percentage would that be for the clinic in terms of meal time insulin scripts?

The end of April is the earliest target date for DTC. (This is what has been told to Sales Reps at SNY). What about that voluntary 6 month moratorium on DTC, from FDC approval or launch?

Source? Any info on this superstar clinic? Any more details regarding the info you provided? Nope. Sorry can't say. on the east coast. See my post history tho. Everything I said happened. What is the point for doctors to give out coupons without writing scripts? I am assuming the "coupon" is the savings card. If the savings card is relevant, only the initial fill would be missing from the weekly script data, and the ensuing ones will still be recorded, right?

Sorry for the late reply, I was out of the country getting R&R.
I just spoke to my contact who is a rep for SNY.
He will NOT be selling anything except Afrezza!! No other launches at this point. His focus is 100% Afrezza.
He said that DTC will be postponed till 3rd qt. While this is disappointing, he was excited by the new enhanced material for doctors offices and an updated full website that should be out "soon".
Thanks (that's all I have for now). Will keep you all updated as I hear more.

And I agree on the DTC.. disappointed.. No matter how much training/education is done, Only DTC can reach the far corners as they cant train/educate 100% of the targets and not 100% of the targets trained will actively prescribe Afrezza. some times the patient demands it too..

As a full time rep for a single drug, what expectations are set in terms of new scripts? Even if there were a hundred reps in the same boat, you'd expect a higher number of rxs than what we've been seeing.

I am thinking the script numbers are way off..but will wait till SNY speaks them on the 30th..hopefully they do.. with out citing confidentiality crap.... can some one compare the other insulin sales reported with the quarterly income? I will try looking around for Apidra..as SNY might have revenue breakdown by drug
