Yikes, what a quote! How does it sit with the practice managers and independent #veterinaryclinic owners out there? So many prices in vet med are set based on cost alone. Drugs are marked up with relatively little thought to their value to the client and patient alike but with much thought to their underlying unit cost. Vaccines are generally treated no different and laboratory testing certainly isn't either. Even more difficult pricing decisions, such as pricing complex dental or surgical procedures, are also often built on a cost-based model. As Rafi notes in his book the 1% Windfall however, customers don't care what it cost you. Customers care about the value your goods and services provide them. Failing to take value into consideration can lead to disgruntled and overcharged clients as well as to leaving considerable amounts of profit on the table - sometimes even in the same transaction or even across different quantities of the same product! When did you last overhaul your clinic's prices? Was value a key consideration of these deliberations? Don't fear if you haven't taken a long hard look at pricing yet, we're here to help from simple, single category projects to a complete pricing overhaul. Reach out via DM today to learn more about our services and yes, about our own value-based consulting fees as well.

"Of all the things I write about with regard to the changes of the profession in the past 45 years, one of the benefits I have seen is the wealth of information now at our fingertips. But pharmacists should never forget that it takes 4 years of intense study to know what to ask, how to interpret the data, and, most of all, whether those data come from a reliable source." In his column for Drug Topics, Peter Kreckel, RPh, emphasizes the importance of maintaining a strong foundation in #pharmacology knowledge, even in today's #information-rich #digital world. https://lnkd.in/effVD9-Y

How Do You Do Multiple Dissolution Media Changes? For some products or dissolution studies, you may need to change the dissolution media more than once. You may have a formulation with a pulsatile or timed release, such as a capsule that includes immediate-release, enteric-coated, and extended-release beads or a tablet with pH-dependent layers. You may also have a need for better modeling of in vivo conditions, and exposing your product to multiple pHs and conditions as the dosage form would experience in a patient's gastrointestinal tract. In either case, performing multiple pH changes in an Apparatus 1 or 2 can be time-consuming and challenging. What options do you have in this case? One option to consider is the USP Apparatus 3 System known as the reciprocating cylinder or Bio-Dis. The Apparatus 3 system allows for multiple automated pH changes for a dissolution run by moving the sample from one from of media to the next. For each row, you can program the amount of time in that row as well as the dip speed. This allows the system to be the most flexible of the dissolution apparatuses in changing conditions and better mimicking in vivo conditions. The dosage form is placed in an inner tube which has a screen placed at the bottom, and one can be placed on the top as well. Just like baskets, these screens are available in many mesh sizes depending on the particle size and flow considerations. Instead of rotating, the mixing in this system is achieved by dipping the inner tube up and down 10cm. The mixing of the Apparatus 3 is much more robust than Apparatus 1 and 2, and because of this it can also be useful for products which need stronger mixing such as chewable tablets, veterinary feeds, HPMC capsules, etc. It also means that there aren't some of the issues with traditional dissolution such as coning, sensitivity to dissolved gasses, floating, or needing to dedicate vessels and other components. The Apparatus 3 allows a way for the product to freely move within the media as well. You can find out more about the Bio-Dis here: https://lnkd.in/efQN33Ta This system can be an excellent way to handle products with testing needs in multiple pH. If you have any questions - let me know in the comments.

Mass Tort Case Acquisition Expert, connecting qualified injured claimants with experienced Attorneys to help them get the justice they deserve.
A Missouri jury has awarded a staggering $495 million against Abbott Laboratories in a landmark trial involving baby formula and Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC). This high-profile case has brought to light the severe risks that cow’s milk-based formulas pose to premature infants. 🍼⚖️ NEC is a critical condition that damages the tissue of a baby’s bowel, with up to 40% of affected infants facing fatal outcomes. Classified as a medical emergency, NEC can sometimes be treated with antibiotics and withholding food. However, severe cases may require surgery to remove damaged sections of the intestines. Post-surgery, the remaining bowel can suffer from scarring, leading to poor nutrient absorption, growth delays, and the potential need for additional surgeries. This case underscores the urgent need for ongoing scrutiny and safety measures in infant nutrition. #NEC #BabyFormula #InfantHealth #NECAttorney #PrematureInfants #NecrotizingEnterocolitis https://lnkd.in/gH7XfW7b

7moInteresting! I’m getting more and more intrigued by this Rafi Mohammed guy’s writing. A corollary to this is the erroneous belief that customers who object to the cost of certain services and products have simply failed to comprehend the *value.* While this is certainly true in some cases, it does not apply to all. Sometimes the price is so high that a customer just can’t afford what you’re selling, period. They may totally understand the value, they may very well really *want* to buy your product or service, but it’s financially out of reach. This is like understanding the value and benefits of owning a Mercedes, but the luxury class category of automobiles does not fit your budget - unless you win the lottery. I think this is often a problem with veterinary pricing - the belief that if only clients truly understood the value, they’d be willing to pay. That assumption fails to take into account another essential consideration, which is the client’s ability to pay. The art of pricing means taking into consideration a number of variables - not just the cost to the clinic, as you’re stating here - but also the clients willingness AND ability to pay.
