New in our product range: IbuARISTO acute
The drug ibuprofen, developed by the British pharmacologist Stewart Adams and applied for a patent in 1961, has become the most sought-after OTC painkiller in Germany in the last 10 years.
For the fourth time in a row, the trade magazine "Healthcare Marketing", together with the market research institutes Insight Health and DatamediQ, has selected the fastest-growing pharmacy-only preparations in 2020.
The top list includes the top 20 pharmacy-only drugs in eight indication categories (Alimentary System and Metabolism, Dermatologics, Musculoskeletal System, Nervous System, Respiratory System, Cough and Cold, Analgesics, and the Free Category) and is based on sales growth at effective retail prices (rAVP) within the two 12-month periods Sept. 1, 2018, to Aug. 31, 2019, and Sept. 1, 2019, to Aug. 31, 2020.
In the Musculoskeletal category, Aristo Pharma's Sogoon Film-Coated Tablets prevailed with sales growth of +488% over the competition, securing one of the coveted "OTC Growth Champion" titles for 2020 by taking first place.
