The transition from Rx to OTC is gaining traction since OTC medications are less expensive and provide first-line treatment for a wide range of common ailments. This has resulted in fewer medical visits, which has increased market sales prospects.
The conversion of established prescription pharmaceuticals to nonprescription, over-the-counter status for treating common ailments is a highly regulated and scientifically rigorous procedure, yet it is gaining popularity because it relieves a significant burden on healthcare facilities.
To be given OTC classification, a medicine must comply to safety margins, have clear labelling, and be effective. These constraints may impede or slow the manufacturing and production processes in the future. However, the increased use of medicines and products has increased demand for Rx-to-OTC Switches items in the global industry.
According to FMI, the market for allergy and respiratory medications will continue strong. The segment is also expected to grow at a 5.7% CAGR over the next decade. Antihistamines were the first medications to transition from prescription to over-the-counter status, and they have the potential to treat a variety of lifestyle disorders. This will continue to be one of the segment’s primary drivers.
“Key players in the global market are investing in product development to get faster approval from FDA and other equal chief organizations. For instance, in June 2021, FDA approved Rx-to-OTC Switches switch for Astepro allergy nasal spray, which is expected to be available at mass retail locations in the US”, says a FMI analyst.
