There is strong regulation on OTC products for children in Belgium, notably in digestive remedies, with the withdrawal of several child-specific variants of Imodium, Primperan, Importal and, especially, Motilium (due to the domperidone scandal) over the last decade. Furthermore, with the ongoing decline in the population aged 0-4 years, paediatric consumer health will unlikely be a priority for manufacturers who are therefore likely to limit their investment in new product developments.
Players could invest more in developing natural paediatric consumer health products in order to avoid high risk investments, low profitability and ethical issues. There is also a higher level of scrutiny on paediatric products than is seen in adult variants, such as investigations coming from bodies such as the Commission des Médicaments.
Scrutiny from local medical authorities is anticipated to strengthen, especially when it comes to paediatric consumer health. For instance, the reconsideration of the effect of aspirin and ibuprofen in adults’ products will probably also affect their paediatric equivalent.
