The magnitude of savings due to the advent of over-the-counter (OTC) drugs in the cough/cold/flu category is driven by a rise in the number of individuals affected by these conditions. The growing prevalence of these common diseases (i.e., cough, cold, and flu) has led the patients to use OTC drugs, as these drugs are readily available and can be bought without a doctor’s prescription. This saves both time and cost required to visit a physician/hospital. Consumers depend on OTC for cough and cold medicines as the first response is to seek quick relief from symptoms. Owing to their easy procurement and increasing market demand, the sale of OTC drugs for cough, cold, and flu is increasing in Spain.
Quick-relief tablets, such as throat lozenges, provide quick relief from throat tickles and contribute to the market as well. Aspirin is widely used to provide quick relief from headaches. The improved quality and efficacy of cough, cold, and flu OTC products are strongly driving the market.
