Context

Why Zevra Pharmaceuticals is promoting this at APA

AZSTARYS's Schedule IV classification is its key differentiator in a stimulant-wary environment. At APA, where psychiatrists are increasingly cautious about stimulant prescribing (abuse potential, diversion), Schedule IV messaging resonates. Collegium Pharma acquisition ($650M) closing Q2 2026 creates transition context.

Booth Conversation

Talking points for the conversation

Ask about: Schedule IV real-world abuse/diversion data; how the Collegium acquisition affects commercial strategy; prescriber comfort level with Schedule IV classification; competitive positioning vs. Schedule II stimulants and non-stimulants (Qelbree, solriamfetol). Transition period = potential for new partner conversations.

Videra · Med Affairs Angle

Where Videra fits
