Respiratory Virus Infection Drugs Market: Overview

Respiratory viruses such as influenza, coronavirus, Para influenza, rhinovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, and human metapneumovirus are the most common causes of respiratory virus infections in immuno-compromised persons. Moreover, early diagnosis & treatment of these infections through drugs can prove to be effective & beneficial for immuno-compromised patients affected due to respiratory virus infections since viral replication & invasive infection can prove to be fatal. In the past few years newly emerging viral respiratory pathogens such as avian influenza, pandemic influenza, SARS-CoV, and MERS-CoV have been constantly posing challenges to private as well as public healthcare systems.

Hence, there is a growing necessity for developing cost-efficient anti-viral agents & drugs. Recently, antiviral drugs are being developed by virologists & pharmaceutical firms for targeting viral entry, virus replication, and virus release for inhibiting proliferation & blocking the growth & spread of viruses in the human body.

According to NIH researchers, Amantadine and Rimantadine medicines/pharmacokinetics are used for inhibiting replication of the influenza A virus by interfering with viral M2 protein activity. Moreover, both Amantadine and Rimantadine have proved to be effective in low proportions against influenza B virus. Reportedly, both these drugs are administered in oral form as tablets or in syrup form at 5mg per kg of body mass for children.

They are administered nearly up to 200 mg per day for adults. As per clinical trials, both Amantadine and Rimantadine have proved effective in preventing influenza in over 60% of subjects. For the record Zanamivir and Oseltamivir available for oral administration in powdered, capsule, and liquid form have also helped in preventing influenza infections in over 65% of subjects.

Respiratory Virus Infection Drugs Market: Growth Drivers

The massive use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in drug discovery is projected to favorably influence the growth of the respiratory virus infection drugs market. Humungous use of combination therapy is projected to boost the rate of success of treating respiratory virus infection through anti-viral drugs. This, in turn, will facilitate the elevation of the respiratory virus infection drug market size in upcoming years. Apart from this, effective drug delivery through nanotechnology is projected to provide new growth prospects for the respiratory virus infection drugs market in near future. In addition to this, a rise in healthcare spending & surge in vaccination activities will spur the respiratory virus infection drugs industry growth.

With an AI-based multi-program model enabling the production of antibiotic resistance drug molecules for various kinds of harmful viruses, the market for respiratory virus infection drugs is anticipated to gain traction in the years ahead. Giant pharma firms are trying to enter into partnerships with other local or regional pharma firms for developing new drugs for treating respiratory virus infections in children, thereby helping the respiratory virus infection drugs market explore new areas of growth in the ensuing years. Nonetheless, easy access to generic drug substitutes can pose a threat to the growth of the respiratory virus infection drugs market in near future.
