I don't think the IMS data even reflects major hospital contracts, at least not entirely. Does not capture non-prescription use in the surgical setting, for example. I think SNY does still have a commanding lead in share there. It's more the outpatient, retail level that Sandoz is penetrating at the moment. There have been anecdotal discussions of contracts with GPOs and hospitals and such on IHub, but there isn't enough information to be very illuminating at this point. Further, long term contracts for the branded do not necessarily mean that the generic won't be used, and there are generally cancellation clauses involving 30 days notice from the buyer. At least that's my understanding.

If anyone has further info, color, or corrections I am humbly all ears.

Cheers, Tuck
