However, the side effects caused by several therapeutics are restraining market growth. Some of the products are withdrawn from the market due to serious side effects. In April 2019, high dose combination of Cholinesterase Inhibitors (ChEIs) and Calcineurine Inhibitors (CNIs) such as Mestinon and Prograf are responsible for severe muscle cramps in myasthenia gravis patients. High cost of treatment also impacts the growth of the market.
