Case Study: Utilizing Patient Belief & Need in Pharmaceutical Selling

Patient type & Medication:
Patient Age – Post Menopausal Women
Medication – Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
Prescribed dosage – Once a Week
Earlier Blockbuster Drug X: Efficacy is 95% & safety profile is also good but made via a process which uses Goat urine.
Newly launched Drug Y: Clinical trials data show efficacy of 94% & safety equivalent to drug X but it is made through a process using natural vegetables & not urine of any animal.
Problem statement: How to position & Sell newly launched HRT drug against number one blockbuster molecule by using patient perspective & demand. 
Thought Process: A marketeer should not only keep an eye over attributes of own drugs but should also analyse the competitor molecule & social perceptions. Here the patient preferences depend upon a lot of factors & an inclination toward natural products is always more & preferred. Since, the efficacy & safety of both Drugs X & Y are similar but patient preference of using natural product can be harnessed here by positioning it a nature derived product.
Here are few Options that can be used. You can also mention statements or any practical scenario that can be useful for this case in comment section.

Take away: The blockbuster molecule can be toppled down if the Positive value of a new product can be synchronized with the belief system of Users. Communicating the differentiator points to the users will be the key here.
