Patients feel the pinch of higher generic drug prices

"Generic drugs are supposed to be easy to get and cheap. But recently, the price of some generic drugs has doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled. And now, patients are starting to feel the pinch."



You knew it was just a matter of time in a sometimes wide open generic field as brand domination diminishes.

I made mistakes….

Will we hear this from Deidre this coming Wednesday? Will we hear any acknowledgment by anyone to the dumb mistakes they have made leading this organization the past 3-5 years. I wouldn't hold your breath waiting to hearing any of this. It will be more of the we know best, our business has changed, we have to adjust to the new environment. All rubbish.

Tired of layofffs and living in "fear"

as to when the next layoff will be. I'm not sure I "trust" this Company. I'm fairly new, and I think I made a huge mistake leaving one company and coming here. I've been here less than a year, and I am disappointed with the leadership and where this once fine Company is heading too. Does anyone else feel unmotivated? I really don't even want to put that much effort in. Plus, their numbers are not right. I'm judged on incorrect sales numbers. I've made it thru 2 layoffs, and who knows if I'll make it through another. Sad situation here. The reps seem unmotivated and we are all going through the motions.

St pete office - gone

April 30th is the last day there will be any support from the AWM St Pete office. After that there will only be a handful of people that will move to Texas. Other than that the division is looking at years of knowledge that will be lost. AWB apparantely will pick up the slack and seemlessly transition across the AWM business with minimal disruption. The majority of employees at St Pete will be out of a job. The majority of people who have worked tirelessly to help this division progress and establish NPWT will be gone. No matter how the new order spins it its a huge knowledge gap to be filled and a lot of good employees will be affected. Why is this a good decision?

National meeting no longer in California

Heard from a source at corporate that they will be moving the commercial team from San Diego to St. Louis in 2015. Everyone will be given the opportunity to keep their positions, but they will be required to move. Mallinckrodt wants centralized marketing and training in home office.

Pot for AD

Another study is adding evidence to the case for the treatment and prevention of Alzheimer’s disease with the compounds in cannabis.



Research published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease this September “strongly suggest that THC [the main active ingredient in marijuana] could be a potential therapeutic treatment option for Alzheimer’s disease through multiple functions and pathways.”



More than five million Americans have Alzheimer’s today. One in three seniors will die with Alzheimer’s or another dementia, and Alzheimer’s is the sixth leading cause of death in the nation, costing America about $203 billion in 2013.

I'm thankful for the good science behind our drugs this Thanksgiving

I don't sell Amitiza, never have but hear it's good. Dexilant is the only branded prescription (get a life haters). Doctors tell me over and over again they are amazed by it's results and THEY claim the drug is the best PPI ever, I sold Protonix for years and NEVER heard the kind of strokes Dexilant gets (truth); Nesina has never been detailed properly until last January; my market share has grown beautifully in this competitive market of diabetes; also Uloric is gaining lots of reception and acceptance, market share that's growing.

Contrave is breaking launch records with the sales numbers rolling in; and Brintellix is the best launched drug in primary care in the last 10 years.

There is good science behind these drugs; proud to sell them.

Q3 payout mistake

Iroko is saying that some reps might interpreted the IC plan wrong, they need to look at the example in the revised IC plan. It is plain and simple.



What I think is wrong is making the reps wait until Q4 pay period to get the money they were shorted in the Q3. IF you want a "fast finish" then pay us the rest of the money on Dec. 12th pay check. Some of us was counting on this money for Christmas. Do the right thing if you want us to continue to sell.



Either pay us on Dec 12th or we will have a slow finish in December

You guys are REALLY having a NSM in Philly in January???

I read the other thread but wasn't sure it was a joke.



My company is having our NSM in Scottsdale, AZ and every company I have worked for has had winter NSMs in warm weather climates to avoid weather delays and to give the northern employees a break from the cold weather.



Also, Philly is the worst airport in the country for delays, even if the weather is cooperative.



It would be absolutely DEMONIC if your management was doing this to their sales force so I truly hope it is JOKE! And please don't say you have roommates too..... that would be SICK stuff!

“There are clearly synergies,” Saunders said in an interview on Bloomberg Television. “That means we’re going to have do some cutting but we’re going to do that very carefully because these are two growing companies.”

The Swiss are really smart business people

They are the managing group of the company, correct? How do you hire an Executive VP of Sales only to fire that person the same month? They are retarded beyond explanation. They're crooks, lack understanding of the market, and since the takeover have done nothing but devalue the company. They promised transparency, it's not there. The ongoing mantra that this is not a Swiss takeover gets old. Mostly, their inherent neutrality makes them cowards when it comes to anything that requires some balls. I hope if you're still here, you're looking. Medtronic passing should be a red flag. They can't sell anything. I'm sure ehrlichman has it under control tho. He invented almost everything in the 20th century, yet remains in a mound of debt. Yacov wouldn't fire him because he knew he'd never get another job and him and his wife would be out on the street. Bad decision, Yacov. Look what's happened to your company in less than a year. In a year that should have experienced the best growth in company history has quickly become the worst year. What a fucking joke.

Amgen Inc. said it ended clinical studies of a treatment for advanced stomach cancer based on safety concerns.



The biopharmaceutical company said an independent data-monitoring committee found an increase in the number of deaths in patients using a combination of the experimental drug—rilotumumab—and chemotherapy, compared with the arm that received only chemotherapy treatment.



“While we are disappointed with these results, we will work with lead investigators to further analyze the data in order to help inform future research and therapies in this area,” said Sean E. Harper, Amgen executive vice president of research and development.





First Trebananib, now this. That's 2 oncology failures in one month. I guess all Amgen will ever be is a bunch of supportive care hacks.

To all Chesterbrook Colleagues

I am a field employee and, unfortunately, do not feel comfortable sending this message to all of you in an e-mail in fear of being retaliated by our new senior leadership and branded a "non-conformer".



With that disclaimer out of the way, please read the following:



I truly appreciate everything you have done for the sales field and it is never said enough how grateful we are for the long hours, hard work, and uneven work life balance that all of you have given us over the past several years.



I started with Shire shortly after the relo from Florence and had the opportunity to work inside for a few years before transitioning into a sales role. There are far too many people to recognize, and many are no longer here, but I would regret not publicly thanking you and wishing you nothing but the best in your future, whether that is continuing on with Shire or moving to the next chapter of your professional life.



Each of you have a special place in all of hearts for the resources, benefits, help, and just overall collaboration in our pursuit to "enable people with life-altering conditions lead better lives".....remember when that actually meant something to our day to day responsibilities? I am sure that each and every single one of you do and it is a reason that you will continue to fight and pursue great products and resources for patients.



Our company may have changed, but you haven't and please don't forget that.



In closing, I really hope every single one of you find the personal and professional happiness you deserve. Please network and reach out to us in the field, we are here to help in whatever way we can and you never know if we all end up back in a place like Shire one day, that company is out there we just need somebody to be BRAVE and find it!



God Bless!

9. Role plays are necessary to demoralize people and keep them mind controlled.

10. Let's hire women that are hot because the doctors listen to hot.

11. Don't hire anyone too smart, because they can see that we are full of crap quickly.

12. Start the college grads with a company car because its great bait and cheap.

Carolyn eyeing merger with Axe

"A potential merger with axe will enable salix reps to achieve a previous unknown level of douchiness. The new axe body spray scent "temptation" combined with the FDA approval of Xifaxan for IBS will cause physicians to purchase large quantities of the drug just to get the rep out of the office. On the other hand salix reps will be able to cross sell axe products to drug stores across the country while logging fake calls from seedy strip mall parking lots." - Carolyn Logan, Wallstreet Journal

Risk of not disclosing suicide risk of Contrave

So what to do? tell docs when they ask about suicide risk (black label warning) or hide it? Takeda already got into trouble for not disclosing things fully. Given it's a huge risk for the rep and the company, it's better to be frank about it and let the doctor decide. In most cases doctor would choose a safer alternative like Belviq.

Hospira best champion for US Biosimilars??

Hospira is positioning itself as THE US Biosimilars company. (website posting below)



With all of the legal and quality issues they have going on (see How many straws article link below), can they really be trusted with this role... or is it self-appointed?



http://ift.tt/1v5A0ng



….. Hospira is engaged with governments and major stakeholders in the United States and around the world, resulting in stronger, more informed public policies in numerous countries. These efforts are guided by Hospira’s commitment to going beyond basic regulatory compliance and implementing the highest standards of corporate accountability, transparency, integrity and responsibility….... Currently, Hospira is working to ensure that regulations and policies in the United States support the introduction and successful adoption of biosimilar drugs by mid-decade…..





http://ift.tt/1z65UPI



The author needs to add that in the $60 million agreement, as part of the settlement, Hospira agreed to make changes so that executives in charge of quality will meet regularly with board members. So Ball has to be babysat by the board. Does this mean that the next FDA warning letter is to be addressed to the Hospira BOD members???

What is your take on quick call and 8 hours of admin time?

just curious what all of you think of the quick call option and now this new 8 hours per month of admin time allow it. Spoke with members of my district to feel that the quick call isa trap. my fear is that if you use it, you will be branded as a not effective rep because you didn't learn anything on your calls so what were you doing?also I'm sure that some district and regional managers will be pulling reports on how often this is used and somehow using it against us. With regards to the 8 hours of admin time, I believe this could spell danger for anyone who actually decides to take a full 8 hours at a time. That's my take, what is yours?

Novartis holding UK government to ransom with Bexsero pricing

Wrangling over life-saving meningitis vaccine may cost 'hundreds of children’s lives':



http://ift.tt/14SsaUy



' There have been more than 1,000 cases of meningitis B since the vaccine was licensed in the UK last year. It is estimated that as many as 100 of these cases will have resulted in death, with another 300 affected by disability. The Department of Health said an “expert independent committee” had set a “cost-effective price for the vaccine and that the Government was determined to introduce it. “Negotiations,” the department said, “are continuing." '



There is no chance at this time for the vaccine to be widely sold regardless of price; the vaccine cannot be made because of serious production problems. So the strategy is for Novartis to remain obstinate on the ridiculous price to bide time until enough vaccine can be produced.



Meanwhile Pfizer will gain EU approval for their MenB vaccine that was just approved in the US and will swoop in to undercut NVS, except by that time GSK will be holding the Bexzero diaper bag. Hilarious.

obesity costs more than terrorism

PUT DOWN THAT MUFFIN, you'll KILL YOURSELF



Obesity More Expensive than Terrorism



It’s no new news that obesity is a big problem, both in the United States and abroad, and according to a new report by the McKinsey Global Institute, the cost of this problem is staggering – more than $2 trillion, nearly as much the cost of terrorism and war combined.



The report, released Thursday, found that 2.1 billion people, 30 percent of the world’s population, are obese, and warned that unless drastic steps are taken, that number could rise to 50 percent of the world’s population by 2030.



“Obesity is a systemic issue, born of many interlocking factors, and only a systemic response will do,” said Richard Dobbs, director of the McKinsey Global Institute, according to the Daily Mail.



In the report, the authors said any efforts to curb the obesity rate need to be a concerted, worldwide effort, and not piecemeal. “Above all, boldness is imperative,” they wrote. “Nothing else with mitigate the huge and rising human, social and economic costs of this crisis.”



Diabetes is not the problem. Overeating is the problem. Wake up.

When my reps do sample it is for a few one offs...HCP has a relative or going on a mission trip and needs some samples. I CANNOT believe that GSK is going to continue this Wonderful GIG!

Open letter to all trolls. Yes you.

All the same trolls over the past 6-12 months that have being saying "massive layoffs are a done deal in October, KB doesn't know her job, GM missed his number... blah, blah, blah..." will now be saying again, "sales is being laid off in another 3 months, deep cuts in R&D, upper management will stay completely intact, blah, blah, blah..." If you've learned anything by now, it should be that speculation is only speculation and reading a couple online articles does not mean you have any worthwhile knowledge to share.



Not only do you not know what's going to happen, you are clearly not equipped with the background, knowledge and analytical skills to make even a decent educated guess.



Just do your job and quit pretending you understand anything beyond that. Do you have so little credibility in life you have to make crap up here?



Most of this was actually taken from the Allergan boards and sadly applies just the same to all of you, and all other company boards that say the exact same BS.

Faxed Scripts Gone For Good? Plan? WTF

It's 5pm Tuesday, and still no word from the big executive meeting yesterday on how this Contrave mess is being resolved? They promised on last weeks CC that every single faxed RX did get captured, and credit would be given once processed. WELL, WE'RE WAITING!!!!



What a bunch of ass clowns! Still no emails or clarification from last week's CC, and absolutely no clear direction going forward. RSD's and DM's are all over the place on what's supposed to happen in terms of a definitive process going forward. Many unanswered questions remain as this becomes more of a distraction than it should.



It's almost like a critical play in a major football game is still under review by the officials. "After further review, we still don't know what the hell just happened, or what if anything we should do about it". "We may or may not get back with you"!

Call from Pharmacy Director This Week

Got an angry and emotional call on Monday morning from a pharmacy director (which I am losing in the alignment so it is no longer my problem) and they told me that the name Mallinckrodt has such a bad reputation that they will make sure no future drugs ever go on formulary. Formulary agenda requests will be immediately rejected.



Perhaps an eminent sale of Mallinckrodt is near? They have to know it will be impossible to launch another hospital drug under the Mallinckrodt name. Perhaps they will get smart and give a division a different company name and they are simply just a division of Mallinckrodt.

Ackman to withdraw shareholder meeting

(Reuters) - Activist investor William Ackman is supporting the $66 billion deal in which Actavis PLC (ACT.N) will buy Allergan Inc (AGN.N) and plans to withdraw from an Allergan special shareholder meeting he had planned, CNBC television reported on Tuesday.



Ackman, who had been fighting alongside Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc (VRX.TO) for control of Allergan, had called for the Allergan meeting to vote out board members and force the company to the table to consider their joint offer.



The meeting is scheduled for Dec. 18 but the move means that there is no longer a need for it, CNBC said.



Ackman's comments come after Actavis said on Monday it would pay $219 per share for Allergan, billions more than Valeant was willing to pay. Ackman, who owns nearly 10 percent of Allergan, had paper gains of more than $2.3 billion based on that price.



CNBC reported that Ackman will meet with executives from Actavis later this week.





Ackman to withdraw shareholder meeting

Zoetis

Zoetis Inc., the animal-health products maker at the center of the latest round of pharmaceutical deal talk, said Tuesday that its board has approved a $500 million share-buyback program.



The announcement comes a day after the company disclosed a deal to buy Abbott Laboratories’s ABT, -0.23% animal-health business for $255 million and about a week after the disclosure that activist investor William Ackman had taken a stake of about $2 billion in Zoetis.

Ex Warner Chilcott Rep...Allergan Reps Beware...

Just a friendly word of advice for all you overpaid Allergan reps...START LOOKING FOR A NEW JOB!!!



When Actavis bought Warner Chilcott, all WC reps interviewed and WERE LET GO!!!



Actavis is run by ex Forest Labs management and Forest Labs paid their reps starting at $50,000 to $55,000 a year in base salary.



Actavis model is to hire new reps and pay them less.



If you are currently promoting Rx drugs as a rep with Allergan which I believe your Eyecare reps do, YOU WILL BE REPLACED!!!



Actavis rather press a restart botton and hire new reps, so they can train reps to sell the Actavis way.

I dream of a rose colored world without the glasses and pray I'm going to wake up soon in a world in which corporate, small businesses, associations, boards, and of all people inside them alike have values that are honorable, mutual, respectful and yes, of course profitable.

Just one more thing....

P.s. I can only speak for myself. I have no idea what they’re gonna do when they figure this out. You better believe that if they do come after those corporations/pharmacists who sell animal only prescribed medications by human pharmacists, or human pharmacists that sell them themselves it won’t be for money reasons. It will be for economic and non-economic harm done by pharmacists illegally selling animal only prescribed medications to their patients, but wouldn’t be for the human medications they privileged you with to collect dough on as I know these people, they are my people.



I’m sure they would be willing to work something out for you to collect on your human medications as they don’t wish to put their patients at risk for not having the best, and most cost effective medications available, medications for sentient beings that are property. These are reasons not of greed, but reasons of equality, compassion, and mutual respect as we are in a democratic society.



And if you come after them on the ethics of animals as property, well……..that’s not just them, that’s you and everyone else in the world.



Just do the right thing, because it’s the right thing to do.

Xolair Drama at Novartis....bunch of ass clowns there...

Thank you Novartis and LD for your motivating new incentive plan. Just heard that Puerto Rico, San Diego, Austin, Minneapolis and Buffalo reps pocketed 50K each trimester. Let me repeat that, 50K each trimester!!!! WTF. This in addition to PR winning in the overall CIU contest with 267 scripts. Total BS!!!!! There are reps who made nothing with this new plan LD. How you can even bring up the billion $$ every email knowing this shows your lack of touch with the sales field.



You can take your 1 Billion and...

Don't be Fooled by Patient First Changes

Please don't be fooled by the fact there will be no simulations in Semester 1 2015 because the company is taking time to figure it out. The real reason is due to layoffs-deep and heavy. Expect this to occur in Q2 2015. Once the re-org is finished the simulations and beatings will continue. Enjoy!!!!

Changes in Patient First now make it impossible for others to not follow our lead?

Other companies will now see and follow the revised and refined version of our great leaders plan and begin to wonder how god granted them such intelligence. Don't forget to show your enthusiasm and appreciation for countless years of listening to us. This little change in patient first has not only taken years to accomplish but it has further developed a process to be more subjective than before(which is something they openly said that they wanted to move further away from). Hopefully the new chairman can see exactly how to correct this patient first problem.

The reality may be that scientists are so busy with metrics and ePMs and avoiding the next reallocation, they don't have time for science anymore.



Why not just cut them loose to do what they choose? It's cheaper, and it's more productive, and it won't be so me too

Good Luck

Good luck to all, former urology rep that got laid off. Hope Pyott and the rest of the crew rot in hell. Unfortunately, it is going to take a lot of layoffs to compensate for the approximately 60 Billion buyout. I never recovered all the way from the layoff. Please be smart and sharpen up your resume and start looking for a job now. It is a very tough job market. Start your search while everyone else is chilling out for the holiday you might get lucky and find a new job. Good luck to all because it is not going to be fun.

Bard Vs Convatec - What a Joke

Congrats marketing for sitting on your asses since May while Bard gets published for Cdiff. Don't send out a ridiculous email telling us what we already know. The article came out many months ago. What the hell is wrong with you people? Solve the damn problem and stop wasting our time. I am almost out of here and when that happens I am making sure all my accounts switch to Bard. A prototype that sucks and wont be released until MAYBE next year. Good job Mark and Ken on long-term strategy.

Allergan Reps - Don't even think about it!

Hehe, so Allergan Reps, you breathed a sigh of relief when the Valeant deal broke down?



You think you'll be welcome at Actavis with open arms?



Think again.



We don't want you.



Not because there isn't a need....new products, new field force.



But see....you Allergan folk....have a reputation.



You are all losers....pitiful idiots, desperate, lazy, unreliable, dishonest, arrogant. Doctors don't like you, and you are mean to other company reps. You are just horrible people.



Actavis is a quality company, with the best of the best.



We know who you are. What goes around comes around.



Really....don't waste your time.



Word of advice.....learn how to say:



"You want fries with that?"



Bye bye.

Keeping your job in pharma, life lessons.

Most important term to remember: "yes sir, and may I have another".



How you people live through this mess is beyond me. Today, after my sales calls at 1:30, I hit the links with a few customers, drank a few pints, and was home by 4pm.



Don't you still have to get signatures after 4 or you lose your job?

Nut slapping incident ny DM

This situation happened about two weeks ago. I was working with the DM of the client company making a call on a very difficult doctor. The doctor is known to be tremendously hard to talk to. I did my very best and I thought I made some progress. The DM and I left his office and as we were in the parking lot walking to my car and she was walking next to me she suddenly back handed me in the groin area with fairly significant force. She started telling me the things I should have done differently on the call. I was in considerable pain from where she slapped me but I did my best to hide it. She never said she was sorry or that it was an accident.



My question is; I have been humiliated over this and my wife is very upset. Should I contact our Human resources department or the clients or should I contact an attorney? I found this to be the most unprofessional conduct in my 7 year career. Please submit any helpful advice.
