Consumer health sees further expansion

Consumer health in the Czech Republic saw another steady performance in 2017, driven mainly by a further strengthening of disposable income and economic conditions as well as a growing health awareness and interest in self-medication among the general population. Hectic and unhealthy lifestyles are placing an excessive burden on various parts of the body, such as the eyes and the digestive system, and increasing pollution is leading to a rising prevalence of various complaints such as allergies.

Pharmacies look for new revenue generators

Declining revenues from prescription drugs following the abolition of regulatory fees has led pharmacies to seek innovative ways to increase their income, while also allowing for the free flow of OTC medications, vitamins and dietary supplements and herbal/traditional products. Self-medication and prevention is also being widely promoted through advertising on television and radio as well as being supported by promotions and loyalty programmes in pharmacies.

Retail prices under fire

The prices of medicines in the Czech Republic are not fixed and there are only limit prices set by the State Institute for Drug Control (SUKL). There are two components of the regulation – price regulation of the producer and price regulation of the distribution and pharmacies (retail surcharge).

OTC medicines sold outside of pharmacies on rise

The sale of reserved medicines outside of pharmacies has been possible in the Czech Republic since 1998, but recently the number of retailers offering these products has been increasing. In January 2017, there were about 2,333 non-pharmacy sales points, while there were 2,562 registered pharmacies.

Nearly half of Czechs have bought OTC medicines and vitamins and dietary supplements on the internet

According to SUKL, 45% of internet users will at least sometimes buy their medicines, vitamins and dietary supplements online. Revenues from internet pharmacies were estimated to amount for between CZK1.
