Corticosteroids therapy refers to a treatment that is given in a variety of ways to stifle the immune system and reduce inflammation. Asthma is one of the disorders they are used to treat allergy symptoms like hay fever, and urticaria (hives). Corticosteroids, sometimes known as steroids, are a kind of anti-inflammatory medication. The main product types of corticosteroids therapy are glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids. Glucocorticoids are a type of corticosteroid hormone that is very effective at suppressing the immune system and reducing inflammation. The therapy is used for the treatment of skin allergies; rhuematology indications; endocrinology; acute respiratory diseases by hospitals; clinics; research institutes; and others. The corticosteroids therapy market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides corticosteroids therapy market statistics, including corticosteroids therapy industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a corticosteroids therapy market share, detailed corticosteroids therapy market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the corticosteroids therapy industry. This corticosteroid therapy market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry. The global corticosteroids market grew from $5.05 billion in 2022 to $5.26 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The corticosteroids market is expected to grow from $6.33 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 4.7%. The SARS-CoV outbreak research studies show that corticosteroids as adjunctive therapy may be beneficial to treating corona viruses if utilized in the early acute phase of infection. The use of corticosteroids during the treatment of coronaviruses has shown positive outcomes due to their ability to modulate the inflammatory response. Therefore, the corticosteroids market has experienced a surge in its growth. The increasing prevalence of Skin related diseases and the rising incidences of rashes, dermatitis, itching, eczema, and psoriasis contributed to the growth of the corticosteroid market. According to the CDC (Center for Disease Control), each year in the US, at least 2 million people are infected with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics, and at least 23,000 people die due to such infections.For instance, in November 2021, according to an article shared by Cleveland Clinic, a US-based non-profit academic medical center, Skin cancer strikes almost one in five persons at some point in their lives. Every day, 9,500 Americans receive a skin cancer diagnosis. Skin cancer affects 20% of Americans at some point in their lives. The increased prevalence of such disorders increased the demand for corticosteroids, driving the market. Side effects associated with the long-term use of corticosteroids are negatively affecting the corticosteroids market. More recently, in a meta-analysis that included 28 studies (2,382 patients), the overall risk of adverse events was 150 per 100 patient years. Psychological and behavioral adverse events (e.g., minor mood disturbances) were reported most frequently, followed by gastrointestinal events (e.g., dyspepsia and dysphagia). Infectious complications included bacterial infections; reactivation of tuberculosis or toxoplasmosis; and viral infections, including herpes virus, varicella-zoster virus, and reactivation of viral hepatitis. The association between corticosteroid therapy and subsequent infections was calculated by pooling data from 71 controlled clinical trials. The overall rate of infectious complications was 12.7% in the 2,111 patients randomly allocated to systemic corticosteroids and 8.0% in the 2,087 controls. The risk of infection was particularly high in patients with neurologic diseases and less pronounced in patients with intestinal, hepatic, and renal diseases. The rate was not increased in patients given a daily dose of <10 mg or a cumulative dose of <700 mg of prednisone. With increasing doses, the rate of occurrence of infectious complications increased in patients given corticosteroids as well as in patients given a placebo, a finding suggesting that not only the corticosteroid but also the underlying disease state account for the steroid-associated infectious complications observed in clinical practice. Adverse and unwanted effects due to the use of corticosteroids hurt the corticosteroid market. The development of silicones for topical and transdermal drug delivery is one of the key trends in the corticosteroid therapy market. Silicone gel sheets are soft wound covers composed of cross-linked polymers reinforced with or bonded to mesh or fabric. A new strategy to deliver drugs to the inner ear from dexamethasone (DXM)-loaded silicone implants and to evaluate the distribution of the drug in the cochlea with confocal microscopy and the development of a new device for local corticosteroids delivery into the oval window with an extended drug release of DXM to the inner ear is also seen in recent years. Silicone gel sheeting is also an excellent treatment option for pediatric patients who may not be able to tolerate intralesional corticosteroid injection. Silicone-based pressure-sensitive adhesives for transdermal drug delivery have shown higher diffusivity and greater skin permeation rate. Silicones offer several advantages such as improved drug permeability, and high diffusivity and offer efficient function and performance to modern drug products. Sanofi is in talks to buy Flexion Therapeutics. Flexion’s knee injection for osteoarthritis, Zilretta (sustained release corticosteroid), would fit right in with Sanofi’s biosurgery division, which markets its osteoarthritis injectable, Synvisc. Zilretta is a sustained-release corticosteroid first up for approval for use in the knee. Analysts have suggested it could bring in $500 million to $600 million in peak sales and perhaps hit blockbuster status if it wins indications for use in other joints. Major players in the corticosteroids therapy market are Sumitomo, Pfizer, Novartis, Merck, Sanofi, Johnson and Johnson, GSK, AstraZeneca, Cipla, LEO Pharma, Abbott Laboratories, Bayer and Zizhu Pharma.

The antiemetics and antinauseants refer to drugs that are used in the prophylaxis or management of vomiting that results from emetogenic chemotherapy, and for the management of postoperative nausea and vomiting. Antiemetic and antinauseant drugs prevent, control, or treat, nausea and vomiting caused in general or by other medications, frequent motion sickness, infections, stomach flu, or chemotherapy. These drugs reduced the symptoms of nausea or vomiting by blocking signal messages to the part of the brain that controls nausea and vomiting. The main types of drugs in antiemetics and antinauseants are dopamine antagonists, nk1 receptor antagonists, antihistamines (h1 histamine receptor antagonists), cannabinoids, and benzodiazepines, anticholinergics, steroids, 5-ht3 receptor antagonists, and others. A dopamine antagonist also referred to as an anti-dopaminergic or a dopamine receptor antagonist, is a medication that works by blocking dopamine receptors. It is used in chemotherapy, motion sickness, gastroenteritis, general anesthetics, opioid analgesics, dizziness, pregnancy, food poisoning, emotional stress, and others and is implemented in various sectors such as hospitals, medical centers, clinics, and research institutes. The antiemetics and antinauseants market research report are one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides antiemetics and antinauseants market statistics, including antiemetics and antinauseants industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with antiemetics and antinauseants market share, detailed antiemetics and antinauseants market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the antiemetics and antinauseants industry. This antiemetics and antinauseants market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry. The global antiemetics and antinauseants market size will grow from $7.76 billion in 2022 to $8.09 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The global antiemetics and antinauseants market size is expected to grow to $9.12 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 3.0%. The antiemetics and antinauseants market is driven by the increase in the prevalence rate of cancer. Chemotherapy is one of the most recommended treatments to cure cancer, and chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) are some of the side effects of the treatment. Antiemetics can help prevent CINV in about 60%-70% of patients. According to the WHO reports, the incidence of cancer globally has risen to 18.1 million new cases and 9.6 million deaths. According to another report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 650,000 cancer patients in the USA receive chemotherapy in an outpatient oncology clinic each year. The CINV caused by chemotherapy treatments is cured by using antiemetic and antinauseant drugs like Dolasetron (Anzemet), Ranitidine (Zantac), and other serotonin 5-HT3 receptor types of antagonists. An increase in the incidence of cancer will increase demand for antiemetics and antinauseants, thereby driving revenue for the market. Lack of awareness about the variety of antiemetic and antinauseant drugs that are available in the market among the practitioners restrains the market. Despite the presence of a range of drugs, the practitioners prescribe similar drugs to treat patients with different conditions of nausea. The popularity of only a few drugs leads to lower demand for other drugs and thus restricts the overall growth of this market. For example, the American Society of Clinical Oncology released its first guideline in the ‘Choosing Wisely’ (CW) campaign to prevent and discourage the overuse of expensive and similar kinds of antiemetic drugs for all ailments. Manufacturers are exploiting nanotechnology in the antiemetics and antinauseants market to deliver therapeutic agents to specifically targeted sites in a controlled manner through Nanomedicine and Nano delivery systems. Nanomedicine is the medical application of nanotechnology which uses nanoparticles to enhance the action of the drug in treatment and nanotechnology is the design, characterization, production, and application of devices, structures, and systems by controlled manipulation of size and shape at the nanometer scale. The antiemetic and antinauseant drug manufacturers are inclining more toward the use of Nanomedicine or Nano drugs to make the drug effective and increase their revenues. For instance, Merck & Co., an American multinational pharmaceutical company manufactured Aprepitant under the brand name Emend. It is the first FDA-approved drug for the prevention of acute chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) that uses nanotechnology to increase the absorption of the drug more easily and efficiently. The antiemetics and antinauseants market is regulated by government agencies such as US Food and Drug Administration. In the USA, title 21 of the Food and Drug Administration Department of Health and Human Services, U.S. part 336, contains conditions that all Antiemetic and Antinauseant drugs are required to fulfil to remain in the market, such as definitions, regulations, and regulations related to the labelling of the antiemetic drug products. Major players in the antiemetics and antinauseants market are Johnson & Johnson, Sanofi-Aventis, Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Abbott Laboratories, Eli Lilly and Company, Merck, Eisai, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and SRS Pharmaceuticals. North America was the largest region in the drugs for antiemetics and antinauseants market in 2022. The Middle East is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the global antiemetics and antinauseants market. The regions covered in the global antiemetics and antinauseants market report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East, and Africa. The countries covered in the antiemetics and antinauseants market report are Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, South Korea, UK, USA. The antimetics and antinauseants market consists of sales of dopamine, serotonin, neurokinin, histamine, and acetylcholine. Values in this market are factory gate values, that is the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers) or directly to end customers.

Acne drugs refer to medications that aid in the treatment of acne scarring, blackheads, whiteheads, and other more severe types of the condition. It functions either by treating bacterial infections or by lowering edoema and oil production. Usually, it takes four to eight weeks before prescription acne medications start to work. Your acne might not go away completely for several months or even years. The main types of acne drugs are inflammatory acne drugs and non-inflammatory acne drugs. Inflammatory acne drugs refer to the drugs that are used to treat inflammatory acne problems such as mild to moderate inflammatory acne. The various therapeutic classes include retinoids, antibiotics, salicylic acid, and benzoyl peroxide that are used by various end users such as hospitals and clinics, pharmacies and drug stores, and ambulatory surgical centers. The acne drugs market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides acne drugs market statistics, including acne drugs industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with an acne drugs market share, detailed acne drugs market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the acne drugs industry. This acne drugs market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry. The global acne drugs market size will grow from $5.44 billion in 2022 to $5.74 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The global acne drugs market size is expected to grow to $6.90 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 4.7%. An increase in the disposable income of people is one of the major drivers in the acne drug market. An increase in disposable income is usually due to an improved economy leading to increased wages and salaries and boosting healthcare expenditure. According to the Office For National Statistics (UK), in 2020, the average household disposable income in the UK was £30,800 ($37,830), an increase of 2.3% from 2019. The rise in disposable income and increased expenditure on facial care products is expected to continue, thereby driving the market in the forecast period. Acne drugs are a major problem worldwide, close to 90% of people suffer from some sort of acne drug. In America alone, close to 12 million people suffer from a severe acne drug problem, that can lead to scarring of the skin if left untreated, as a result, many people purchase Acne drug care drugs and products. The presence of alternatives for acne drug treatment is one of the restraints on the acne drug market. Due to the availability of multiple alternatives, patients tend to choose one amongst many options based on price, side effects, duration, and many more. This increases the competition and hence, the competition cuts down a significant portion of business for the acne drugs market. For example, some of the alternatives for acne drug treatment apart from acne drugs are Ayurveda, home remedies, laser and photodynamic therapy, and extraction of whiteheads and blackheads using special tools like needles and forceps. Combination therapy is the latest trend in the acne drug market. Combination therapy is the process of combining two drugs with different mechanisms of action, such combinations of medication have better efficacy and adherence when compared with monotherapy (the use of only a single drug by itself). The combination of a topical retinoid drug, which unclogs the pores, along with an antimicrobial drug, which is used to treat an infection is being used to treat acne drugs. Example of combination therapy includes Epiduo, Acanya, Ziana, and Benzamycin produced by Galderma, Allergan, Medicis, and Atrix respectively. The stringent regulations concerning the usage of drugs to treat Acne Drugs have an impact on the acne drug market. The regulations have become more stringent due to the various side effects and adverse events caused during treatment. In India, the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) has issued a warning regarding the safety guidelines concerning the use of the oral drug, isotretinoin. The CDSCO has directed the states and union territories’ drug controllers to check the labelling of isotretinoin drugs and make end users aware of the serious birth defects the drug may cause. Further, the Subject Expert Committee (SEC) for Dermatology and Allergy has recommended that the drug should be sold only under the prescription of a dermatologist, manufacturers should provide a package insert in local languages, and retail pharmacies should maintain the details of retail sale of the drug. Hence, these strict guidelines and regulations would impact the growth of the acne drug market. In December 2021, Sanofi S.A., a France based pharmaceutical and healthcare company specialising in drug development and commercialization, acquired Origimm Biotechnology GmbH for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Sanofi increases its vaccine R&D pipeline, skin microbiome and skin immunology expertise, and treatment options for acne disease.

Pharmaceutical drug refers to a substance created to treat, prevent, or cure an illness or other condition, or to lessen its symptoms. To list the most popular methods, drugs can be consumed orally, through a skin patch, by injection, or through an inhaler. Other vital medications made from natural materials include vaccinations, steroid hormones, human blood-plasma fractions, and antibiotics. The main types of pharmaceutical drugs are cardiovascular drugs, dermatology drugs, gastrointestinal drugs, genito-urinary drugs, hematology drugs, anti-infective drugs, metabolic disorders drugs, musculoskeletal disorders drugs, central nervous system drugs, oncology drugs, ophthalmology drugs, and respiratory diseases drugs. Cardiovascular drugs are used to treat medical conditions associated with the heart or the circulatory system (blood vessels), such as arrhythmias, blood clots, coronary artery disease, high or low blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart failure, and stroke. The drugs are administered through oral, parenteral, and others that are classified into branded and generic drugs. The various mode of purchase includes prescription-based drugs and over-the-counter drugs which are distributed by hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies/ drug stores, and others. The pharmaceutical drug market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides pharmaceutical drug market statistics, including pharmaceutical drug industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a pharmaceutical drug market share, detailed pharmaceutical drug market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the pharmaceutical drug industry. This pharmaceutical drug market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry. The global pharmaceutical drugs market is expected to grow from $ 1,136.23 billion in 2022 to $1,199.86 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, affecting many markets across the globe. The pharmaceutical drugs market is expected to reach $1,848.49 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 11.4%. The rise in sedentary jobs, busy lifestyles, and changing consumer preferences are affecting the disease profile of the world population, especially non-communicable diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Long working hours, less physical activity, and unhealthy eating and drinking habits are major causes of chronic diseases such as diabetes. According to the World Health Organization, chronic disease prevalence rose by 57% globally, in the year 2020. China and India together had about 193.4 million diabetic patients in 2019 and India is expected to have about 101 million diabetic patients by 2030, thereby increasing the need for biologics drugs for diabetic patients. These factors are expected to increase the patient pool globally, thereby driving the pharmaceutical drug market during the forecast period. Interest rates globally are forecasted to rise in most of the developing and developed economies, during the forecast period, this is expected to limit new investments in the market. Most countries across the world are raising interest rates to control inflation and also to limit the flow of capital out of the country. This is likely to affect new investments in terms of expansion, research, and development of new products. For instance, the US interest rates rose to 3.5% by 2021. These factors are expected to hurt the market as borrowing money becomes expensive, thereby affecting the pharmaceuticals market growth. Early Rx-to-OTC switch, or switching the product from prescription to non-prescription status, is a key trend in the dermatology drugs market. Traditionally, the Rx-to-OTC status conversion was generally observed at a phase nearing the patent expiry or after. However, forward-thinking companies are now looking at switching from Rx-to-OTC well in advance of the patent expiry of the drug. This helps the manufacturer to capitalize on the market opportunities for the product. Early Rx-to-OTC switching also provides an additional benefit as a way to recover all the expenses incurred on the product by the company. For example, in 2020, FDA has switched three prescription drugs to OTC including Voltaren for arthritis pain, olopatadine hydrochloride 0.1% and 0.2% (Pataday Twice Daily Relief and Pataday Once Daily Relief) for temporary relief of itchy and red eyes due to pollen, ragweed, and grass. Major companies in the pharmaceutical drugs market include Bristol-Myers Squibb, Sanofi S.A, Johnson & Johnson, Novartis AG, Bayer AG, Abbott Laboratories, GlaxosmithKline, AstraZenec, Merck & Co and CJ Corp.

Generic pharmaceuticals refer to a drug that was developed to have the same dosage form, safety, strength, mode of administration, quality, performance attributes, and intended use as an already marketed brand-name drug. The action and clinical benefits of a generic drug are identical to those of a brand-name drug. The three main types of generic pharmaceuticals are biosimilar; simple generic, and super generic. A biosimilar is a biological product that is very similar to a reference biologic and has no clinically significant differences in terms of safety, purity, or potency. The drugs are delivered through oral, injectable, dermal/topical, and inhalers that are used for various therapies such as CNS, cardiovascular, dermatology, genitourinary/hormonal, respiratory, rheumatology, diabetes, and oncology. The various distribution channels involved is hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, and online pharmacies. The generic pharmaceuticals market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides generic pharmaceuticals market statistics, including generic pharmaceuticals industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a generic pharmaceuticals market share, detailed generic pharmaceuticals market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the generic pharmaceuticals industry. This generic pharmaceuticals market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry. The global generic pharmaceuticals market grew from $332.43 billion in 2022 to $358.5 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The generic pharmaceuticals market is expected to grow from $453.19 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 6.0%. The rising incidence of chronic diseases is one of the major drivers of the generic pharmaceutical market. As more individuals are diagnosed with chronic diseases, they look for more medicines for treatment. Branded drugs come at a premium price, while generic drugs are available at a lower cost and have the same chemical composition as branded drugs. The low cost and same chemical composition and strength of generic drugs make a patient buy generic drugs instead of branded drugs. If it is a chronic disease, the treatment goes on for a longer period, and hence, the sales of generic drugs also increase. For instance, according to the WHO (World Health Organization), over the next 10 years, the number of deaths due to chronic disease is projected to increase by 17%. Also, in 2020, almost 3-quarters of all deaths in the world are due to chronic diseases. The lack of awareness about generic drugs is one of the restraints on the generic pharmaceutical market. The high marketing and advertisement of branded drugs overshadow the availability of generic drugs, which are a substitute for expensive branded drugs. Thus, consumers opt for branded drugs even though the generic drugs carry the same chemical formulation as their counter-branded drugs. According to an article published on CVS HEALTH, many doctors and pharmacists preferred to offer branded drugs to their patients over generic drugs. This prevents the patients to go for generic drugs as they develop a preconceived notion of generic drugs not being at par with branded drugs. For example, according to research conducted by Sahana K Hebbar, in the International Journal of Basic & Clinical Pharmacology, out of 100 patients and 50 non-medical staff, 95% of the patients and 60% of the non-medical staff didn't know about generic drugs. Thus, a lack of awareness about the availability of generic drugs hampers the generic pharmaceutical market. 3D printing technology can transform the manufacturing of drugs in the generic pharmaceutical market. 3D printed pharmaceuticals help improve R&D productivity and deliver new benefits to patients. 3D printing allows the manufacturer to produce drugs with customised size, shape, and texture, which is not possible in traditional manufacturing of generic drugs. 3D printing can help the manufacturer to make generic drugs that have different release dates, appearances, and tastes. For example, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) completed a study where ultraviolet (UV) and 3D printing were used to manufacture tablets to treat Parkinson's disease. Martin Wallace, director of GSK Technology, said that GSK is investing in 3D printing to manufacture pills and tablets. Also, Aprecia pharmaceutical company launched 'ZipDose' technology, which manufactures 3D printed drugs. The drug manufacturers must comply with the CGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice) regulations that come under the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) which includes generic pharmaceuticals. The CGMP regulations require manufacturers to maintain a minimum quality standard for the methods, controls, and facilities used in the manufacturing, packaging, and processing of drug products. Part- 99 of chapter 1 under title 21-Food And Drugs of CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) contains subparts from A to H. The whole part-99 describes the guidelines that need to be followed by drug manufacturers regarding the dissemination of information on human drugs, including biologics, and devices. The guidelines concern the safety, effectiveness, or benefit of use that is not included in the approved labelling for a drug or device approved by the Food and Drug Administration for marketing. The guidelines regulate the information regarding the drugs that should be delivered to the health care practitioner, pharmacy benefit manager, health insurance issuer, group health plan, or federal or state government agency.

Branded generics refer to an unregistered drug that is marketed under a brand name and provides patients and healthcare providers with a benefit that encourages them to choose the brand. These are the generic medications that have a unique brand name on the market. They might be advertised similarly to how branded medications are. The main drug classes of branded generics are alkylating agents, antimetabolites, hormones, anti-hypertensive, lipid-lowering drugs, anti-depressants, anti-psychotics, anti-epileptics, and other drugs. The alkylating agents of branded generics refer to a subclass of antineoplastic or anticancer medications that work by preventing the conversion of DNA into RNA, which halts the creation of proteins. Alkylating chemicals change the hydrogen atoms on DNA to alkyl groups, which causes cross-links to form inside the DNA chain and has cytotoxic, mutagenic, and cancerous consequences. The various routes of administration of branded generics include topical, oral, parenteral, and other routes. They are in various medical conditions including oncology, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, neurology, gastrointestinal diseases, dermatology diseases, analgesics and anti-inflammatory, and other diseases. The branded generics market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides branded generics market statistics, including branded generics industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a branded generics market share, detailed branded generics market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the branded generics industry.
