Competitive Landscape
Aytu competes in the massive, generic-dominated antidepressant and ADHD markets. It differentiates through novel mechanisms (EXXUA's gepirone), convenient formulations (ODTs for ADHD), and a high-touch commercial and patient support strategy, rather than competing on scale alone.
