Additionally, newer medicines including Evrysdi have provided more convenient and accessible options for patients, further bolstering the medication segment. These drugs are favored as they offer ongoing treatment options compared to one-time, high-cost gene therapies. Moreover, both oral and injectable formulations’ availability, improved accessibility to treatment, permitting different preferences and needs to be met with effective therapy. The continuous need for dosage over time provides a steady demand, making medications a key revenue-generating segment in the market.
