...it's Teva brand. Literally just Proair with a different label.

Cost is only a smidgen lower than brand, sadly...

It is actually generic Ventolin. From an acquisition pov it is significantly cheaper than brand. It is $15 less. My cash price will probably be about $50

There are two authorized generic albuterol HFA products. One is Proair and the other is Ventolin.

I'm buying it at $30 a piece so I'll be selling it for $35 cash.

Same. Is it contract for y'all?

Why such a low margin especially in NY? Seems like $39 or $40 would be a better price.

I don't like putting huge margins on certain meds. Already making a really good profit on the cash Sildenafil business.

My wholesaler only has the Ventolin one.

Been waiting like 3 years for this...keeps getting pushed back on PL list of drugs to go generic soon. It's still BS compared to pre 2009/Montreal protocol albuterol HFA prices

 

[WVUPharm2007]

Good rx price is $55. Decent profit to be had.

I was only aware of the Ventolin one, which my POS team says that many of our plans have not started covering yet. Didn't know about the Proair one, so that's cool.

So when will we see the huge push for the Respiclick? LOL

xopenex hfa has been generic for years and suppose to work better but doctors never caught on to it.

Probably because most insurances refuse to pay for it. It's non-formulary 80% of the time since most insurances prefer Ventolin or Proair.

Have your marketer call all of the pediatricians in the area, fax them a flyer with the pharmacy name in 72 font, and that's a ton of free advertising.
