It alerted to us a tactic some pharmaceutical companies are using to keep patients taking expensive brand name drugs instead of cheaper, generic versions. Heres dr. Jon with details. Reporter 54yearold michael hitch of tennessee has earlyonset dementia and says he is helped by an alzheimers medication called namenda. The drug is due to go generic next year. But forest laboratories, the company that makes namenda, plans to stop the sale of the version that hitch takes at least six months before a lessexpensive Generic Product could become available. They have no excuse whatsoever to stop making that drug available, none. Reporter the company is telling doctors to transition patients to a newer form, one that has additional patent protection, and is unlikely to go generic for years. Industry critics believe this is an example of a forced switch. David maris is a stock analyst with b. M. O. Capital market marko covers pharmaceuticals. Whats the purpose of a forced switch . Forced switch is to get patients over to this new product as fast as possible so that way when the patent goes off on the the old product, that patients are already on the new product, and theres no existing product left. All of a surgeon you you dont have this cliff. You dont have a dropoff in sales like you would otherwise. Reporter the retail price of namenda is more than 300 a month. When Generic Companies compete, the price of a drug usually drops 70 to 80 . Namenda generates about 1. 5 billion in annual sales. So loss of patent protection could translate to more than 1 billion in lost revenue in a single year. When patients are forced to switch from one form of a product to another, do they just stay once theyre switched . Almost everyone stays. The reason Drug Companies do these forced switches is the switches are sticky. So in most drugs, its only about 10 to 20 ever go back to the generic. Reporter the newer version, namenda xr, is taken once a day, unlike the older version, which is taken twice a day. Hitch has tried namenda xr and says it doesnt work for him. They are yanking the rug right out from under me, and that is not fair play. Reporter youre ticked off. I am mad. Yes. Reporter there will still be a liquid version of namenda. Activists, the Parent Company of forest laboratories, declined our request for an interview so we asked by email why the company decided to discontinue the sale of the twicedaly namenda tablete tablet and if te transition to namenda fris a forced twitch.
