Vitamins are very important as they are the building blocks of life. The human body consists mainly of water and it is vitally important that we get enough vitamins to keep us healthy. Vitamins are fat-soluble, which means that the substance inside them is unable to dissolve in the fluid of the blood (plasma) so these vitamins must be taken through food. Vitamins and minerals are found in abundance in fruits and vegetables but to receive all the benefits of these foods, it is best to eat a wide variety of them. Fresh fruits and vegetables have the highest concentration of vitamins and minerals than any other type of food. Emergence of Covid-19 has led to high demand for vitamin C, thereby propelling growth of the global vitamins market. For instance, globally, as of 5:40pm CET, 12 January 2021, there have been 89,707,115 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including 1,940,352 deaths, as reported to the World Health Organization. Such scenario has also prompted several manufacturers to donate vitamins and other products. For instance, in March 2020, Bayer collaborated with Direct Relief and Feeding America to donate one million products that including over-the-counter medications and multivitamins to ease the burden COVID-19 on healthcare systems.

Seasonal influenza is caused by viruses known as influenza A, B, C, and D. These names refer to the four types of viruses, and each has a different way of entering the human body. For example, an A virus can be transmitted through the air, while B is most often transmitted through secretions from the nose or mouth. C is the most commonly caught form of the disease but does not usually spread from person to person. Influenza A viruses are the only influenza viruses known to cause flu pandemics, i.e., global epidemics of flu disease. High prevalence of acute respiratory infections is expected to propel growth of the seasonal influenza vaccines market. For instance, the study, 'Viral and Bacterial Etiologies of Acute Respiratory Infections among Children under 5 Years in Senegal', published in the journal Microbiology Insights, in February 2018, found that adenovirus was the most prevalent (50%) among selected virus species, followed by influenza virus, rhinovirus, enterovirus, and respiratory syncytial virus. Emergence of Covid-19 is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for players in the seasonal influenza vaccines market. For instance, globally, as of 4:25pm CET, 2 December 2020, there have been 63,360,234 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including 1,475,825 deaths, reported to the World Health Organization. Moreover, many people are getting flu shots along with COVID testing, which is also expected to aid in growth of the market. For instance, in December 2020, Tarrant County, TX, U.S., partnered with pharmacies at Kroger and Tom Thumb to help provide free flu vaccines for uninsured residents.

Chronic renal failure, or renal overload, is associated with a variety of morbidity and mortality and is a major challenge in the clinical treatment of patients with chronic renal failure. This disease has no cure and can be managed with specific medications in an appropriate course of therapy. However, in patients for whom other therapies have been ineffective or who are experiencing life-threatening side effects, continuous renal substitute therapy (CRS) is the only feasible treatment. Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) is a type of blood purification therapy used in the treatment of patients with acute kidney injury. The therapy is commonly used to provide renal support for critically ill patients with acute kidney injury, particularly patients who are hemodynamically unstable. Emergence of COVID-19 has led to increasing adoption of CRRT as patients with Covid-19 are experiencing multiple organ failure, including acute kidney injury. Moreover, regulatory bodies are also focused on approval and launch of new CRRT devices. For instance, in April 2020, The U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted marketing authorization for a new device indicated to provide continuous hemodialysis or hemofiltration therapy to critically ill pediatric patients weighing between 2.5 and 10 kilograms (or 5.5 to 22 pounds).

Opioids agonist drugs are a group of powerful and widely used drugs that alleviate the pain of moderate to severe chronic pain by reducing the impact of narcotic receptors in the brain. These include both codeine and hydrocodone, the most common opioids. Although they relieve pain, they have serious side effects that include drowsiness, respiratory depression, dizziness, nausea, and sweating. These drugs are very powerful, so overdoses are common, and death from them is even more common. This group of drugs has received heavy criticism from both patients and doctors alike for the risks involved in using them. The opioid antagonist hydrocodone works by blocking the opioid receptors in the body. Codeine is the only opioid that does this in a pure form. Because hydrocodone blocks the opioid receptors in the brain, it becomes less available to people who take it. This opioid group is popular among heroin abusers, since heroin creates a euphoric state that cannot be reproduced with hydrocodone. For this reason, heroin abusers frequently turn to other forms of treatment, such as prescription medications and methadone. Other opioids agonist drugs in this group include oxycodone, hydromorphone (Percoset), hydromorphone hydrochloride (hydrocodone), and methadone. Taking them is not without dangers though. Oxycodone has caused at least five deaths and several dozen hospital admissions in the US since 1999. In extremely rare cases, people have died of overdosing on hydrocodone. Heroin abusers also regularly take this drug, since it can suppress their desire for heroin.
