This report measures the number of patients "on treatment" over time. It helps you see the size of the patient market and what share of it you own in relation to competitors. It also lets you identify characteristics of your market, in order to confirm or correct assumptions about it you might have.

How can this report be used

The Patients on Treatment report could be used to:

• Create an overview of the general market for your brand
• Assess your brand strategy in light of real-world performance 
• Confirm your understanding of performance as measured by other data sources (eg units sold)

How is this report calculated? 

A patient is considered on treatment if they bought a script in the defined time range up to and including the observed month. The defined time range is called "on treatment window". The default “on treatment window” for this report has been set to one month. 

You can change the “on treatment window” in the report filters above the chart.
