monumental task to address all of the areas that affect women. This report
will concentrate on disorders that affect the female reproductive system and
other disorders where there is at least a 70% preponderance of women affected
by the disorder. The worldwide prescription drug market for women' s health
consists of total manufacturers' revenues from the following product
categories:
- Autoimmune diseases
