Cost for each pill is likely less than 2 cents. The pricing was too high. The volume payoff may just be the ticket to drive top line and cash flow. Should hear more tomorrow:

If VIVUS gave their pills away for free, no one would take them.

Bridging the gap of $58 million monthly expense to make $2 million in sales will take more than discounting Qsymia. The doctors writing the prescriptions won't care. The free 2 week sample pack didn't bridge the gap. I will be buying VVUS at $6 when they actually get through REMS and can market and sell through pharmacies unless they go belly up first.

Perhaps I'm not as educated as a few of the other individuals out here in regards to touting the stock of a few of the other players in the FDA approved or soon to be approved weight loss field, but I do hold two MA's and I have been on the founders managed program consisting of the combination of drugs making up Qsymia for over 10 plus years! Being of sound mind and body after 10 years and suffering no ill effects from that combination with excellent weight loss and Qsymia having the highest "Efficacy" of weight loss there is "NO way in hell I would count VIVUS down and out with Qsymia!!!


user418 their pills are worth it with the least adverse affect on health and the highest efficacy of weight loss!!
