Numark continues to expand its own-label OTC range as more and more customers seek affordable, trusted alternatives to branded products, driven by the cost-of-living crisis.

Numark's own label range includes common OTC medicines like paracetamol, ibuprofen, loperamide and treatments for common ailments such as coughs, colds and allergies. They also offer a comprehensive range of vitamins, baby products, footcare, personal care, and health and beauty accessories.

Jennifer Rann, head of OTC at Numark said: “We are incredibly proud to be the largest own label OTC offering in pharmacy wholesale. Our Numark product range provides quality and value for our UK members and their customers.”

She also highlighted Numark’s ongoing efforts to research the OTC market and explore new product development opportunities to further expand their range, providing even more value to both its members and customers.

The Numark own label range is available exclusively to Numark members.
