IN THE WAKE of regulatory clampdown and changes in the consumer preference, the sales of cold and cough syrups took a beating in October, marking a trend reversal during the seasonal rise in respiratory illnesses.
As per healthcare research firm Pharmarack, the sales of cough syrups stood at ₹431 crore in October, falling from ₹437 crore in September. In volume terms, the sales dropped 2.4% from 38.35 million units in September to 37.45 million units in October. This is the first time in three years when the sales of cough syrups —both volume and value—did-n't exceed the September sales.
