INTRODUCTION
As negative trial results edge the HRT market into decline, osteoporosis players have an opportunity to gain market share. Drugs with multiple
indications and convenient dosing regimens will drive market growth. However, best practice promotion and lifecycle management will be as important as
therapeutic advances to establish and maintain competitive advantage.
SCOPE OF THE REPORT

REPORT HIGHLIGHTS
More negative results in 2003 for HRT have sealed the market's fate and sales are forecast to plummet. Treatment is set to be short-term, low-dose
and less widely prescribed, so it's make or break time for key players, with those in the osteoporosis market well positioned to capitalize on the
losses Additional indications and intermittent dosing of SERMs and pipeline bisphosphonates in osteoporosis will drive sales to dominate therapy and
help to double market value by 2011. However, therapeutic advances must go hand-in-hand with best practice promotion, in terms of launch strategy and
market penetration, to secure commercial success
