Top Takeaways
Most surveyed brands are widely prescribed: More than three quarters of the neurologists surveyed prescribe eight of the ten brands covered, and nearly all of them prescribe the top two brands.
Highly competitive market: Even brands that see sizeable barrier-related share gains see significant losses as well. Nevertheless, six brands did manage modest net gains.
Patient-related barriers have the greatest impact: Barriers related to patient preferences and restrictions affect more prescriptions than all other barriers combined.
Excellent brand awareness and perception: Nearly all doctors surveyed are aware of the brands covered, and most of them are willing to consider brands they don't currently prescribe.
Clear market loser: More doctors experience barriers with one brand in particular. Not surprisingly, that brand is least prescribed.
