LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Biotechnology–There is a growing preference for OTC drugs as they can be bought without a prescription. Additionally, the increasing penetration of the Internet has led to increased awareness about vitamin deficiencies, which is encouraging people to opt for OTC medicines. This preference for OTC drugs and their high-volume sales is inducing vendors to develop generic and OTC versions of the available drugs rather than developing new drugs for the treatment of rickets. Thus, the availability of therapeutics in the form of OTC drugs is one of the key drivers that will contribute to the growth of the rickets market. Furthermore, this industry research report also presents a competitive analysis of the market by type (vitamin D-related rickets and minerals-related rickets) and geography (Asia, Europe, North America, and ROW).
