DaiS, In the past I have voiced my concerns about the low refill numbers. I was told that the reason for the low refill numbers was because when a doctor writes a prescription he only writes it for so many refills (lets say 3) When the patients comes in for the forth refill it is in fact counted as a new script. Secondly if a person should go to a different pharmacy it will also be counted as a new script. If the doctor changes the dosage it is considered a new script. So basically the new vs refills doesn't mean much. The total scripts sold is the all important number. It's obvious that after 600K users the product has a very low acceptance rate. Now maybe worldwide demand might keep the factory's humming but overall the product needs help, just like the shit heads running the company. Disgusted beyond belief. RT
