Pfizer's Ursodiol is one of the few approved products for cholic acid treatment. In terms of market share, Pfizer has been the dominant player in the bile acid market for several years, including cholic acid [2]. However, the company has faced increasing competition from generic manufacturers, which has put pressure on Pfizer's market share.

What are the current competitors in the cholic acid market?

Generic versions of cholic acid are available, marketed by companies such as Mylan and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries. These generic products have gained significant market share in recent years, particularly in the United States [3]. As a result, Pfizer's market share has decreased.
