Major depressive disorder treatment market is witnessing a dynamic change, where patents for drugs such as Cymbalta and Abilify has expired recently, and revenue generated from these drugs plummeted with the introduction of generics. Therefore, approval of new drugs such as Levomilnacipran, Brintellix, and Rexulti (brexpiprazole) is a primary driver for this market growth. FDA approved levomilnacipran — a new serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) — for major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults in 2013. In the same year, Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited and H. Lundbeck A/S announced the FDA approval for Brintellix (vortioxetine) for the treatment of adults with major depressive disorder (MDD). Rexulti (brexpiprazole) tablets received approval from FDA as an add-on treatment to an antidepressant medication to treat adults with major depressive disorder (MDD) in July, 2015. These approvals are expected to provide more option to patients suffering from MDD, and this is expected to support the major depressive disorder treatment market growth.
