What is a script i.e. is it an actual prescription brought in by a person or is it the order and reorder levels of the pharmacy? This could be another reason why the refill numbers are lagging if the answer is #2 above. Early on with Muse there was a lot of stocking. Thus with the numbers down pharmacies have shelf stock to distribute before reordering. So more perscriptions could be filled than the scripts show until the backlog is cleared out. Just like Astra and Janssen are buying more product than is currently being sold on the consumer level internationally to stock the pipelines. Otherwise, as happened in Sweden perscriptions are written but can't be filled yet.
