Rozerem is not on equity analysts’ radar screens!<\/p>\n

That’s my conclusion after reading the BusinessWeek article “Sleep Drugs Rouse Big Pharma<\/a>,” which talks about current and future insomnia medications. The article summarized an “Insight” report written by Steven Silver and Herman Saftlas, both equity analysts for Standard & Poor’s.<\/p>\n

The analysts mentioned Ambien, Ambrien CR, and Lunesta in their analysis plus several generics (temazepam and zolpidem). But nowhere in the story was there mention of Rozerem!<\/p>\n

My interpretation: Rozerem’s market share is too insignificant for it to be included in a serious analysis of the insomnia market!<\/p>\n

This is even more surprising because the analysts claim only 10% – 15% of insomnia sufferers seek treatment primarily because of side effect (ie, dependence) fears:<\/p>\n

“Approximately 70 million people in the U.S. suffer regular or occasional insomnia, according to Steven Silver, a biotechnology equity analyst for Standard & Poor’s. But only 10% to 15% seek treatment, in part because of the side effects associated with the current crop of insomnia drugs.”<\/p>\n

But Rozerem ads claim that it is different (“Your doctor can explain how”) and Abe says “not to worry” about dependence!<\/p>\n

“Since many insomnia drugs are sold directly to consumers, sales are greatly influenced by consumer print and broadcast advertising,” says the BusinessWeek article.<\/p>\n

I guess the Rozerem marketing message is falling on deaf ears, or maybe people don’t believe Abe is as honest as he claims to be!<\/p>\n

This is yet another confirmation of my contention that “Rozerem Ads are Innovatively Ineffectual<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Sorry, Rozerem. But don’t worry, your ads still may win awards (see here<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
