Additionally, in October, the number of physicians prescribing Natesto increased 16% from the previous month.

 

The Company reports the following prescription and prescriber growth for the one-month and three-month periods ending October 31, 2017:

 

Natesto total prescriptions for the month of October were 827, representing a 17% increase over September total prescriptions. New prescriptions for Natesto for the month of October increased to 495.

The combination of a highly differentiated product profile and our sales force becoming increasingly proficient has resulted in all-time highs for Natesto in terms of both prescription levels and prescribers. We remain enthusiastic about the uptake of Natesto, particularly the large increase over these past three months, and we are on track to achieve cashflow breakeven in the quarters ahead based on our forecasted growth.”
