"new IMS Health data showing new U.S. weekly prescriptions of Avonex hit 1,147 in the week ending August 7, about 10 percent higher than any previous week.

In addition, he said data released by the market research firm showed total U.S. prescriptions written for Avonex that week
were at an all-time high of 4,572."

I read this to say 1147 prescriptions for people who did not have prescriptions for Avonex before. And, that there were 4,572 total prescriptions written for Avonex that week. Also, IMS picks up about 85% of the US channels, so presumeably the numbers may be even better.

How do you interpret the above?
