If you "correct" July to 350k (it clearly was an aberration), then the last five months give an almost perfect straight line on a log scale. So it's growing at a pretty constant percentage each month. Can't last forever of course - growth rate has to start tailing off at some point.

Be interesting to research 8-month (or 9-month) sales as a percentage of peak sales across different drugs. I'd exclude some outliers like Viagra and Lipitor (which would be on opposite ends of the spectrum).

Still on pace for 1.5MM+ for the quarter. November did have a holiday days (I'm counting both Thanksgiving and the Friday after). And we will have a couple slow days in Dec. too. At least Dec looks to have started at good pace.
