[Audio] role paly between medical rep and pharmacist Exblifep.
[Audio] Medical rep Doctor Good morning please come in. How can I assist you today? Good morning Doctor. Thank you for seeing me. I'm here to discuss a new medication called Exblifep which I believe could greatly benefit your patients dealing with complicated urinary tract infections (cUTIs)..
[Audio] Doctor Medical rep Before we delve into that let me provide a bit of context. Complicated urinary tract infections or cUTIs pose a significant challenge in clinical practice. They often involve more resistant pathogens or occur in patients with underlying health conditions making treatment more complex. As such I'm always eager to explore new treatment options that could offer improved efficacy and safety profiles for my patients. Absolutely Doctor. Exblifep is a combination of cefepime and enmetazobactam specifically designed to address the challenges of cUTIs. Cefepime provides a broad spectrum of activity against many bacteria involved in utis while enmetazobactam a novel beta-lactamase inhibitor enhances its effectiveness by preventing bacterial resistance mechanisms..
[Audio] Doctor That sounds promising. Do you have any clinical evidence to support the efficacy of Exblifep? Medical rep Yes Doctor. Multiple clinical trials have demonstrated the effectiveness of Exblifep in treating complicated utis. One study published in the New England Journal of Medicine compared Exblifep to standard therapy in patients with cUTIs. The results showed that Exblifep achieved higher rates of clinical cure and microbiological eradication compared to the standard therapy..
[Audio] Doctor Impressive. Are there any specific safety concerns or side effects I should be aware of? Medical rep Exblifep has shown to be well-tolerated in clinical trials with a safety profile similar to that of cefepime alone. The most common adverse reactions reported were mild gastrointestinal disturbances and injection site reactions. However as with any medication it's essential to consider each patient's individual medical history and potential contraindications..
[Audio] Doctor Thank you for providing me with this information. I'm also interested in learning more about the dosing regimen and treatment plan for Exblifep. Medical rep Of course Doctor. Exblifep is typically administered intravenously. The recommended dosage for adults with cUTIs is (EXBLIFEP 2.5 grams (2 grams cefepime and 0.5 grams enmetazobactam) administered every 8 hours (4 hours infusion) over a 7-14 days period. The dosage may need to be adjusted based on factors such as renal function severity of infection and patient response..
[Audio] Doctor I'm also concerned about the cost of medications. Can you give me an idea of the pricing and any assistance programs available for Exblifep? Medical rep Exblifep pricing varies based on dosage strength and package size typically falling within a certain price range for a course of treatment. However specific costs may differ depending on location and negotiated contracts. Patient assistance programs offered by the manufacturer include co-pay assistance savings cards and direct aid for uninsured patients. Discounts or rebates may also be available for bulk purchases by healthcare institutions..
[Audio] Doctor Thank you for providing this detailed information. I appreciate your proactive approach in addressing both clinical dosing and financial aspects of prescribing Exblifep. Please provide me with any additional resources or materials you have regarding the dosing regimen treatment plan and financial assistance options. Medical rep you’re most welcome Doctor I hope you got new information about our new drug.
