STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The objective of this study is to present a comprehensive look at disorders of the gastrointestinal system and their pharmacological treatment and diagnostic options. There are two major categories of pharmacological treatment options available for gastrointestinal ailments: prescription drugs and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs.

This report will provide market analysis for the diagnostic options and vaccines available for common gastrointestinal conditions. Markets are further divided by type of therapeutic class of drugs available to treat some of the gastrointestinal conditions. The report provides an overview of the current and projected market with a five-year window for decision-makers interested in the gastrointestinal market arena.

REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY
