MARKET OUTLOOK
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic gastrointestinal disorder characterized by alterations in motility, stool consistency and frequency, and urgency. It is generally classified into three subtypes, constipation predominant, diarrhea predominant, and mixed; this analysis focuses on IBS-D, the diarrhea predominant subtype. Limited treatment options are available for IBS, and only a few drugs have secured FDA approval for IBS-D. Current treatment options include antidepressants (off-label), motor stimulants (off-label), anticholinergic agents (off-label), a 5-HTR modulator (Sebela Pharmaceuticals’ Lotronex), an antibiotic (Salix Pharmaceuticals’ Xifaxan), and an opioid delta receptor antagonist (AbbVie’s Viberzi).
