Trouble with this is new agent with black box will be considered higher risk to prescribers who will look for lower risk answer. By the time prur hits the market - it may have a few new competitors without black box warnings. Those will be prescribed first by the majority of clinicians due to simple safety assessment. Risk vs benefit. The nontoxic will be prescribed before the more toxic. Then, if comparing 2 black-boxed meds for same condition, evidence-based clinician will rx the agent with the most population usage data supporting the script. Not saying it won't be used - just that it is unlikely to be competitive.
