NEW YORK, May 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

PharmaPoint: Parkinson's Disease - Brazil Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022

PharmaPoint: Parkinson's Disease - Brazil Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022

Summary

Parkinson's disease is a progressive condition that is characterized by bradykinesia, muscular rigidity, tremor, and postural instability. As the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, Parkinson's disease may affect individuals of any age but prevalence is increased with age and it is most common in the elderly. Dopaminergic therapies have been fairly effective in treating bradykinesia, but several unmet needs remain. Some needs will be met during the forecast period from 2012-2022, while others, such as the need for disease-modifying drugs, will remain. GlobalData expects that advancements will be made in levodopa administration and that four new molecular entities will be introduced to the market by 2022, these factors along with increased patient numbers from an aging population will drive the market during the forecast period.

The decline in sales is attributed to a private-public partnership (PPP) between Brazil and Boehringer Ingelheim, which will drive down the price of generic pramipexole as the technology to produce the drug is transferred to Brazil's Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz)/Institute of Drug Technology (Farmanguinhos), which will solely be responsible for the country's production of the drug by 2017.

Scope

- Overview of Parkinson's Disease including epidemiology, etiology, symptoms, diagnosis, pathology and treatment guidelines as well as an overview on the competitive landscape.
- Detailed information on the key drugs in Brazil including product description, safety and efficacy profiles as well as a SWOT analysis.
- Sales forecast for the top drugs in Brazil from 2012-2022.
- Analysis of the impact of key events as well the drivers and restraints affecting the Brazil Parkinson's Disease market.

Reasons to buy

- Understand and capitalize by identifying products that are most likely to ensure a robust return
- Stay ahead of the competition by understanding the changing competitive landscape for Parkinson's Disease
- Effectively plan your M&A and partnership strategies by identifying drugs with the most promising sales potential
- Make more informed business decisions from insightful and in-depth analysis of drug performance
- Obtain sales forecast for drugs from 2012-2022 in Brazil
