Opioid-Induced Constipation - Opportunity Analysis And Forecasts To 2017 - Event-Driven Update

The Opioid-Induced Constipation (OIC) is a new and rapidly establishing market currently dominated by OTC laxatives set to undergo substantial growth between 2012 and 2017. The main drivers of growth will be an increase in the diagnosed OIC population. This advance is catalyzed by a major shift in the OIC treatment algorithm with the entry of several highlytargeted, efficacious, orally-formulated drugs. The competitive landscape will continue to evolve over the forecast period.
