I don't know. I like drug reps. They never sway my opinion. I think the cost is cheaper to deal directly with the doctor than Claritin and Viagra ads on television. We used to have a little of nearly every medication. You could try it and see which works best.
One of the best uses was after a urine test, especially a cathed specimen, we would give two doses of Cefzil (there is a 2% chance of inoculating the bladder with bacteria) plus simply coverage while waiting on the culture. No ten-day script. Giving ten bottles of Vantin for a plane trip when questioning an OM. So many good reasons.
I remember a good friend who would come in with Strattera. Every time, are you using Strattera? No. Why? Because it sucks. Thanks for the coffee. And, I don't need to go to Belize. But, an iced coffee was nice and talking football. Adderall XR? Yes, it's a good drug. Just not covered by MaineCare. Will you think about it in your private pay patients? No. (Unless it turns out to be the best option).
Like John, I agree with those on the other side and those in the middle. As long as you have a "we call the police on Focalin reps," you are fine.
