Would like some clarification. 90 day supply or 90 cartridge supply. If so wow. That is great! However, if used with every meal, thay would be 3 cartridges per day, totaling 90 cartrdiges month. Of course if only used for corrections, considerably less. 90 cartridges although of any size. I think the titration pack with a mix of sizes at $199 for 180 cartridges is a better choice if you are buying. Unless you are using it just for corrections a single box is not going to be enough for a month if you follow the STAT protocol. Unless you're a savvy consumer and can learn how to split packs, as being done and reported by users. |

I saw the system. It worked pretty well. I did not know the cartridge lid could be removed and reattached. it was on a video by her |

As far as I can see, neither the 90 or 180 is necessarily a 'mix'. The site says "Each pricing option is available in the following dosage: 4 Units, 8 Units, 12 Units". A mix would make sense, but since when do things make sense. I am not sure, but there are two SKUs for 180 cartridge packs. One is for 90x4u and 90x8u, and the other is for 60x4u, 60x8u, and 60x12u. I'm not informed about what SKUs mean exactly. You mean those are the packagings available to pharmacies / distributors from Mannkind? Assuming you are correct, the Eagle Pharmacy page is not conveying that a 'mix' is a possibility. Is it possible that Mannkind is supplying Eagle with a different packaging? |

I've read her posts on FB about her splitting packs and asking other people for the cartridges they didn't want. |

I would think so. Keep in mind that each package/sku will be priced differently. “As low as” likely refers to the 4-unit x 90 cartridges sku. Its the cheapest one.

Peppy, I know what SKUs are, I don't know what they mean. Are they the ONLY way the product is allowed to be distributed? Are there other formats allowed? E.g., some non-SKU format for Eagle?

E.g., some non-SKU format for Eagle? no clue. Why would you believe another NDC number would be used for Eagle? Remember the repackaging stuff after sanofi, new numbers? then the twice now changed inventory/packaging decisions? numbers in/numbers out. Made it more confusing for the physicians who could barely order the stuff. afrezza.aspnprograms.com/siteforms/Afrezza_enrollment_form.pdfscroll down on this access form. |

I noted that the website says nothing about a mix being on offer. It just says "Each pricing option is available in the following dosage: 4 Units, 8 Units, 12 Units". It may be that the 180 option is 180 cartridges all the same type. Geez, sort of sorry I even commented on this. Still, it would be nice if Eagle would clarify on its site what is being offered. |

SKU's means that shorts are skewered !!!
Stores use the number to identify, locate, etc a product. I believe it stands for "stock keeping unit".

This is really going around in circles. How do you know?
Would you please direct me to something / a link that clearly states it is the titration pack that is being offered?
People keep suggesting the 180 option is the titration pack, but AFAIK it does not say that on the Eagle site. It is not a big deal, I just prefer accuracy over well intended guesses. |
