Baxter's sell-out of injectables to West-ward has to be one of the worst business decisions in recent history. To say that West-ward was completely unprepared to enter the market fully stocked with products is a huge understatement! And to be the only manufacturer of several important drugs, like glycopyrrolate (American Regent doesn't count!) and have none for distribution calls into question their ability to ever meet market demand.
Multiple communications have been sent out detailing the "seamless" transition of NDCs for glyco. Really??? I must have missed that!!
And now to have to rely on wholesalers to protect the interests of pharmacy buyers over profit by selling to black marketers by refusing direct orders, West-ward chalks up another strike against themselves.
Sounds like crickets in the middle of the night. Im doing what I can to stear clear of them as much as possible. There are serveral items that are dual awarded that I will pay a bit more for so I dont have to buy there product. Its not much but it is a stand against what they are doing.
