- 2. LADENBURG THALM/SH SH analysts commented, "We are not at all dismayed by the relatively small revenues since there is no stocking for this direct shipment product and hospital formularies barely had an opportunity to meet during these five weeks. Management did note that among the five hospital formularies that did meet, all five have approved Dsuvia. Presently, the company knows of 41 more meetings by midyear. If approved, it will still take weeks to months for AcelRx’s Dsuvia reps to find time with these busy hospital/ASC healthcare practitioners (HCPs), REMS training to be completed (relatively brief however) and the product to be stocked. As many investors know, hospital launches are notoriously slow. However, the early signals are ahead of our expectations." (5/9/2019)
