The 5 Key Questions Addressed by this Report:

• How many physicians were reached by Lotemax through personal promotion in 2016 and how does this compare to its peer set in the Conjunctivitis and Ocular Inflammation markets?
• What promotional mix was leveraged (e.g., sales rep detailing, physician education, and paid speaking) and what was the median spend on each type of activity?
• How does Valeant’s depth of coverage vary within key specialties (e.g., Ophthalmology and Optometry) and how does this compare to its peers and the overall set of rep-accessible physicians?
• How often are physicians receiving paid meals for Lotemax throughout the year (e.g., monthly, quarterly, annually)?
• Who were the most detailed prescribers and top paid speakers for Lotemax in 2016?

Data Sources and Methodology:

• MDDetails leverages company-reported financial transaction data disclosed through CMS Open Payments. This data set captures all transfers of value (e.g., speaking fees, consulting fees, travel, education, and meals) made on behalf of a drug or device manufacturer to a physician. Currently, 42 months of longitudinal data is available – covering payments to more than 900,000 U.S. healthcare professionals.
• Over 6,500 paid interactions across 3,900 physicians made on behalf of Lotemax were carefully examined to support our analysis. In addition, interaction data from 14 peer products (e.g. Alrex, Avenova, Bepreve, Besivance, Bromsite, Durezol, Ilevro, Pazeo, Prolensa, Restasis, Systane, Vigamox, Xiidra, and Zylet ) was leveraged to provide benchmarking and market insights.
