FDA Approves Astrazeneca's Once-Daily Seroquel XR Extended-Release Tablets for the Treatment of Schizophrenia | www.therapeuticsdaily.com
Another extended release, financial-benefit drug? This is surely a high-tier, high co-pay dosage form that won't significantly benefit the bottom line. Medicaid managed care plans will require prior authorization with numerous attempts at other, less expensive agents required. Costs in the entire class are high enough and continuing to spiral out of control, and a "me-too" agent is not going to help, despite the "benefit" of once-a-day dosing.
