  • How many physicians were reached by Ragwitek through personal promotion in 2016 and how does this compare to its peer set in the Allergic Rhinitis 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 Merck’s depth of coverage vary within key specialties (e.g., Family Medicine, Allergy/Immunology, Internal Medicine, Otolaryngology, Pulmonology, and Pediatric Medicine) and how does this compare to its peers and the overall set of rep-accessible physicians?

  • Who were the most detailed prescribers and top paid speakers for Ragwitek 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 6,300 paid interactions across 3,800 physicians made on behalf of Ragwitek were carefully examined to support our analysis. In addition, interaction data from 7 peer products (e.g. Dymista, Grastek, Karbinal ER, Nasonex, Oralair, Prednisolone 25, and Qnasl ) was leveraged to provide benchmarking and market insights.
