A couple of things about doctors using new drugs.
Post# of 148162
First the hospital has to add a drug to their formulary it has to be review by their IRC boards which decide which drugs can be used in their hospital.
With that said, if we get great results, massive PR and government push most hospitals will approve it right away. But if anyone of those three doesn't happen the uptake of LL will be slowed.
Without public knowledge, others here are right, this sits on the shelf.
Hospitals are very slow to act on new drugs, I know this is pandemic and a lot of doctors are looking for the next best drug they can use but the majority go with what works so far. The same with the IRC boards which are made up of those same doctors.
BUT, and that's a big but , We get all three of those things, Great results, Public Knowledge, and goverment help with logistics. We will be added quickly to formularies and that is for all time. Meaning Once in a hospital formulary
it's a lot easier for doctors to use the drug for what ever they want, then it just comes down to insurance, talking post-covid.
