The U.S. Market for Over-the-Counter Gastrointestinal Products, 2nd Edition

The market for OTC Gastrointestinal products has gone through several significant changes in the past 5 years, most of which have to do with the Rx-to-OTC switches of two types of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) drugs: H2 receptor antagonists and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).

The report details OTC GI products addressing ailments such as stomach upset, diarrhea, ulcers, and heartburn (gastroesophageal reflux).

The study focuses on the direction the market is moving and the factors that will fuel sustainable growth. Trends covered in the report include consumer usage of tablets and liquids, dual regulatory status, consumer interest in self-medication and the impact of direct-to-consumer advertising.
