Self-medication
Take your health into your own hands
Individual and independent healthcare is becoming increasingly important for patients. Whether it's a cold, gastrointestinal illness or skin problems - patients want more than ever to be able to help themselves, treat minor ailments and improve their own well-being. They inform themselves independently on the Internet and the first stop for symptoms of illness is increasingly often the pharmacy rather than the doctor's surgery.
Self-medication focuses primarily on aspects such as speed, availability and proportionality: there is no need to wait for an appointment with a doctor and sit in a waiting room with minor ailments. In the pharmacy, patients and customers receive specific information on their complaints as well as expert information on over-the-counter (OTC) products that they can use for self-medication.
Now with a new design
Our OTC brands in the MEDICE Health Family have a new packaging design. The modern, uniform appearance of our entire product portfolio combines clarity and a patient-oriented approach. Look forward with us to a new, contemporary variety of packs for our popular product family.
The first packs of our market leader for menopausal symptoms - Remifemin - are the first to be launched. Many other brands such as Dorithricin, Cystinol and Soventol will follow in the course of the year - the entire changeover will be seamless. All PZN numbers, formulations and qualities will of course remain the same. The products in the previous design remain fully marketable and can be used as usual.
The MEDICE Health Family stands for the highest pharmaceutical quality made in Germany - and has done so for 75 years. You can continue to rely on our effective brands, which have been tried and tested for many years.

Self-medication - more in demand than ever before
The market for over-the-counter preparations continues to develop. In 2019, sales increased by 3 percent compared to the previous year. And a study by the Bundesverband der Arzneimittel-Hersteller e. V. (Federal Association of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers) shows that pharmacies have become even more important as a source of advice for 64% of respondents (especially during the coronavirus pandemic). However, mail-order pharmacies are also becoming increasingly important in the OTC segment. The introduction of the so-called e-prescription, which consumers are in favor of, is also increasing the acceptance and attractiveness of redeeming prescriptions in a mail-order pharmacy.
