Positive Tuzistra trends

Investment into addressing barriers to higher Tuzistra XR prescribing is starting to translate into higher prescription (Rx) rates. Mid-way through the second season post launch, both Rx and sales are showing positive trends and gathering momentum, although we lower our near-term Tuzistra XR net sales forecasts. Ongoing focus on improved salesforce effectiveness, which will provide a solid foundation for CCP-07 and CCP-08 launches, means the post-season update should better inform the future potential of Vernalis’s extended release Rx-only cough cold franchise.
