Boots International announced the sale of its US OTC healthcare business to Reckitt Benckiser Reckitt Benckiser plc is one of the world's leading manufacturers of cleaning products and a member of the FTSE 100 Index of the largest companies traded on the London Stock Exchange. It is headquartered in the town of Slough just to the west of Greater London. . The deal includes the Clearasil, Nurofen and Strepsils brands. Wyeth also sold its Solgar Vitamin and Herb division to NBTY during 2005. Finally, Pfizer has announced its intention to sell its consumer healthcare division, a move that promises to impact the US OTC healthcare market even more in 2006.

These market exits signal a greater trend for pharmaceutical companies to focus on the more profitable prescription drug market at the expense of OTC healthcare innovations, and such transitions of ownership have slowed the pace of new product development and overall growth in OTC healthcare sales.
