Oral Antibiotics: Introduction

Oral antibiotics refer to medical drugs such as tablets and capsules that are administered orally and are used to treat mild to moderate infections in the body. They eliminate the risk of canula-related infections to enhance the cost-effectiveness while effectively treating infectious diseases. Moreover, oral antibiotics are typically used to kill microbes in the body.

Global Oral Antibiotics Market Analysis

With the rising incidence of chronic diseases like influenza and tuberculosis, the oral antibiotics market demand has grown in the historical period. The growing prevalence of urinary tract infections (UTIs), especially in women, has significantly boosted the demand for oral antibiotics such as Fosfomycin and ceftriaxone, among others.

With the sudden COVID-19 outbreak, the approvals for oral antibiotics by government bodies have seen an upswing. This can be attributed to enhance the treatment options for infectious diseases. In September 2023, the FDA granted its approval for Canada based Appili Therapeutics' liquid form of antibiotic drug called metronidazole. This liquid oral form is an effective alternative for those who are unable to administer antibiotics through injections or pills.

The oral antibiotics market growth is further driven by a profound emphasis on battling antibiotic resistance. A global non-profit organization CARB-X (Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria Biopharmaceutical Accelerator) has awarded the researchers from the University of Melbourne with a whopping USD 1.75 million to develop an oral therapeutic that can restore the activity of antibiotics used to treat pneumonia. Such investments are expected to foster innovation and bring effective treatment alternatives for patients across the globe.
