Subject: [ACC-Circle] Glaxo SmithKline Letters
 
Hi Everybody:
I decided that I would call the Vice President for Sales for
GlaxoSmithKline to discuss our letters regarding AVODART and it's "ONLY
YOUR DOCTOR" DTC MESSAGE. I left a message yesterday and he called be
back today. We had a lengthy conversation and he asked if I could give
him the time to follow up on why our letters were not responded to at
all.
He called me this afternoon telling me that although he was in Dallas
today (not Phila) he found out that their response letters are being
written as we speak and an answer would be sent out to all that wrote
next week by either the GSK President or the person in charge of their
DTC. I think they just may be the first company to actually change their
policy because of US!!!!! OR they will tell us that this is the way the
FDA says they have to say it (not true) and we will continue to educate
and push. Just wanted all to know, I think and actually feel, it may
have worked.
Let's keep our fingers crossed,
Dave
