Gastroenterology Marketplace
The Gastroenterologist Market1
Gastroenterologists comprise a relatively small, yet active, medical specialty. In 2008, approximately 15,200 gastroenterologists
in the U.S., conducted 29.6 million patient visits2 and wrote 40 million
prescriptions valued at $7.0 billion. Salix is committed to becoming a trusted ally whom these specialists can count on for treatments of gastrointestinal-related
illnesses.
