Market is expected to grow with an impressive CAGR during the forecast period. in
the forecast period, 2024-2028. In
Israel, over the counter (OTC) drugs can be purchased without a prescription
from a doctor, these drugs are typically used to treat minor illnesses and
conditions and can be found at pharmacies and drugstores throughout the
country. Some common OTC drugs in Israel include pain relievers like aspirin
and ibuprofen, antihistamines for allergies, cough and cold medicines, and
topical creams and ointments for skin conditions. In Israel, there are certain
OTC drugs that are restricted to specific age groups. For example, some cough
and cold medicines containing codeine can be sold to people over the age of 18.
Additionally, some drugs that are available over the counter in other countries
may require a prescription in Israel. Overall, OTC drugs can be a convenient
and affordable way to treat minor health issues in Israel.
One factor that can affect
the affordability of OTC drugs in Israel is the country's healthcare system.
Israel has a national healthcare system that provides coverage for many medical
services and treatments, but OTC drugs are generally not covered. This means
that patients are responsible for paying for these medications out of pocket. Thus,
availability of the over-the-counter drugs in the retail pharmacies and drug
stores cuts the extra expense of visiting a physician. However, there are some
programs in some places in Israel to help make healthcare more affordable for
Israeli residents. For example, some health insurance plans may cover the cost
of certain OTC medications or offer discounts on these drugs. Additionally,
there are government subsidies available for people with certain chronic health
conditions that require ongoing medication. The affordability of OTC drugs in
Israel can vary depending on several factors. While these medications are
generally less expensive than prescription drugs, it's still important to
compare prices and consider different options to ensure getting the best value
as the over-the-counter drugs in Israel are comparatively high in price than
those available in the other countries.
Self-medication is usually
done by using over-the-counter medications or other remedies without the
guidance or supervision of a healthcare professional as the drugs used in these
condition do not require any prescription or supervision by any physician. There
are many reasons of why people are getting more inclined towards practicing
self-medication. One of the primary reasons is convenience, as over-the-counter
medications are readily available and can be purchased without a prescription.
In some cases, people are hesitant to seek medical advice or treatment, either
due to cost concerns, time constraints, or a belief that their symptoms are not
serious enough to require medical attention. To address this growing trend of
self-medication, healthcare providers, and regulatory bodies in Israel and
around the world are emphasizing the importance of responsible medication use
and seeking medical advice when needed. By encouraging responsible medication
use and increasing access to medical advice and treatment, it is hoped that the
trend of self-medication can be safely and effectively managed.
E-pharmacies have become
increasingly popular in recent years, and they play an important role in the
sale and distribution of over the counter (OTC) drugs. One of the primary
benefits of e-pharmacies for the sale of OTC drugs is convenience. Customers
can easily browse and purchase medications online, often with the option of
home delivery. This can be particularly helpful for individuals who may have
mobility issues, live in remote areas, or have busy schedules that make it
difficult to visit a physical pharmacy. In addition to convenience,
e-pharmacies may offer a wider selection of OTC drugs than traditional
pharmacies, including international brands and specialty products that may not
be available in local drugstores. E-pharmacies may offer discounts and
promotions, which can make OTC medications more affordable for customers.
Isrameds is the only
international pharmacy with an Israel based that has formally announced its
"Lowest Price Guarantee policy" and offers its Over-the-Counter drug
sales online to customers worldwide, including those in America. By buying
their medications from Israel directly, Americans can save money and support
the Israeli economy. With this new online pharmacy, community and advocacy organizations,
congregations, and individuals can obtain FDA-approved medications from
registered chemists for up to 70% less than U.S. prices while boosting the
Israel’s economy because there is no middleman in the transaction.
A free trade agreement between
Israel and the United States has existed since 1985. In accordance with the
General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), this Free Trade Agreement
eliminates taxes and other trade-restrictive laws, including the parallel
import of pharmaceutical products. IsraMeds uses FDA and European Union
standard - approved facilities, Israeli-licensed pharmacists, and physician-approved
prescriptions. Thus, attributing to the various factors like increasing trend
of using over the counter drugs for self-medication and easy access to pharmacy
products to treat common disease or medical conditions without visiting
hospitals like cough and cold etc. is expected to boost the demand of
over-the-counter drugs in Israel in the upcoming years.
