Key Trends Shaping the Future of OTC Pet Medications
Industry leaders in the OTC pet medication market are heavily investing in innovation to maintain competitive advantage. One such innovation is the development of monoclonal antibody-based therapies, which represent a new class of treatments produced by identical immune cells cloned from a single parent. For example, in October 2023, Zoetis Inc., a US pharmaceutical company, introduced two FDA-approved veterinary medications: Bedinvetmab injection and Oclacitinib chewable tablets. Oclacitinib chewables are notable for being the first FDA-approved chewable treatment targeting pruritus linked to allergic dermatitis and atopic dermatitis in dogs aged one year and above in the United States. These medications are currently available for veterinarians to prescribe across the US.
