Dr Reddy's Laboratories Unveils Famotidine Tablets in U.S. to Treat GERD
In October 2020, Dr Reddy's Laboratories, a multinational pharmaceutical company headquartered in India introduced the Famotidine tablet, an OTC drug for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in the U.S. The tablets are similar to Pepcid AC, a product of Johnson & Johnson. These will be used to relieve and prevent sour stomach occurring because of drinking or eating certain beverages and foods, as well as heartburn happening because of acid indigestion. This launch would enable the company to fulfil a significant therapy gap created because of the withdrawal of Ranitidine in the U.S. antacids market.

Drivers & Restraints-
Rising Investments in Supply Chain through Retail Stores to Boost Growth
The cost-effectiveness and accessibility of various OTC type of drugs in several retail stores across the globe is anticipated to propel the over the counter drugs market growth in the upcoming years. In emerging and developed countries, the private sector is increasingly investing in the enhancement of the supply chain through numerous distribution outlets and retail stores. The Consumer Healthcare Products Association, for instance, stated in February 2021 that there are around 54,000 pharmacies in the U.S. alone. Also, more than 750,000 retail outlets are currently selling OTC products.
However, often, people consume wrong medicines because of incorrect self-diagnosis. Drugs used for the treatment of cough and cold have caused adverse effects because of errors. A study published by Academic Pediatrics declared that there were around 5,000 cases of harmful effects of CCM during 2009 to 2016.

Cold & Cough Remedies Segment to Dominate Backed by its Surging Prevalence
Based on the distribution channel, the market is segregated into drug stores & retail pharmacies, hospital pharmacies, and online pharmacies. By the product type, it is classified into analgesics, cold & cough remedies, digestives & intestinal remedies, skin treatment, vitamins & minerals, and others.

Regional Insights-
Presence of Cipla Inc., Procter & Gamble, and TajPharma to Favor Growth in Asia Pacific
In 2020, North America procured USD 58.4 billion in terms of revenue. It is set to remain at the forefront backed by the high demand for OTC drugs, as compared to prescription ones.
