Nothing good is going to come from this. Already NaBicarb is unavailable, their rollout of daptomycin is a disaster and the sales reps are corporate drones that cannot answer a question without checking with someone.
I am sure that prices will go up when all is said and done. Standard practice for these companies. The GPO's will roll over and accept the price increases without even batting an eye. And of course the Insurance companies will be months behind in adjusting their reimbursement rates.
Thanks for your Post, I'm really hating Pfizer right now, not only are they causing major shortages, but the transition has left our accounting dept. unable to pay invoices since I ordered it under Hospira, but billed under Pfizer. Our system won't allow me to change the vendor once product is received. My rating of this venture very poor Pfizer Corp!!
