Central Nervous System Report 2002 Report
US $1,563.

In 2001 CNS therapies held a market share worth in excess on $40 billion- the strongest growth of any therapeutic class with a staggering 17 percent.

In the US, drug therapies for CNS lead the pack where prescription drugs expenditure is concerned, with therapies holding a market size of more than $28 billion ($4 billion more than its closets competitor).

If you are part of this market then you need to increase your share. Is the answer the future pharmaceutical management of the most prominent CNS disorders in the exploitation of novel mechanisms which have previously eluded the R&D world, or is it in the intelligent use of those products which are currently available - and if so, what might the impact be on those companies involved?

CNS 2002 by visiongain provides the reader with up-to-date listings of the current pipelines for the leading companies engaged in the R&D into the treatment of CNS disorders, as well as detailed drug profiles of the therapies currently available and their application in the future treatment of prominent CNS disorders.
