While many areas of the pharmaceutical industry will suffer from current economic conditions worldwide, sales of over the counter drugs are widely anticipated to grow as consumers seek cheaper alternatives. Manufacturers are expected to switch prescription drugs to over the counter status where possible. In the early part of this decade there was a delcine in Rx to switches, since 2006 there has been a number of uses of this tactic to extend revenue of pharmaceutical products. In Kalorama Information's Rx to OTC Switches 2009, we take a look at recent swtiches, products that may switch in the future, and categories that can benefit most from an OTC product.
The U.S. market for Rx-to-OTC Switches encompasses a wide variety of products that have been determined safe and effective as over-the-counter products. The market is fueled by several factors including an aging population; steady to increased incidences of conditions and diseases; new drug classes switched to OTC; product demand; economic conditions and several other factors.
All product areas contribute to the growth and development of the OTC market; however, new product development and additional regulatory review and approval of new OTC drug classifications, specifically in areas such as gastrointestinal drugs, cholesterol-reducing drugs, and contraceptives are expected to make the most impact for continued growth.
