Summary

Despite obstacles, sales continue to grow

OTC healthcare developed significantly in value sales in 2003. The introduction of VAT in 2002 and new certification regulations led to a general price rise for medicines, which was felt throughout 2003. Rising unit prices was one of the important factors that kept OTC sales increasing at a fast rate throughout the year. In addition, large outbreaks of flu early and later in the year stimulated specific remedies, such as cough remedies and analgesics.
