Over-the-counter (OTC) drugs are medicines sold directly to a consumer without a prescription from a healthcare professional, as compared to prescription drugs, which may be sold only to consumers possessing a valid prescription. Some drugs may be legally classified as over-the-counter (i.e. no prescription is required), but may only be dispensed by a pharmacist after an assessment of the patient's needs or the provision of patient education.
Increasing adoption of western lifestyles and growing prosperities is leading to increase in Industry size and OTC demand. Promotion and Industrying initiatives will be a key trend for Industry growth in the forecast period for this region. The growing healthcare costs and an increase in the older population demand the need for better accessibility and affordability of healthcare services.
