What is RCPA in Pharma?

Retail chemist Prescription Audit is the important concept in pharmaceutical product management and sales management. Pharma distribution network starts from stockist appointed by company. Stocks then distributed to retail chemists. When doctor prescribes the product to patient, patients buys at retail chemist. This way the sales are done. Here you will find actual consumer is patient and indirect consumer is doctor because he prescribes the product. You never come in direct contact with consumer. That is why pharma selling is different from other selling. Here retailer will stock products of various companies and has got significant role to influence your selling .

OTC Medicines

Over-the-counter medicine is also known as OTC or nonprescription medicine. All these terms refer to medicine that you can buy without a prescription. They are safe and effective when you follow the directions on the label and as directed by your health care professional. In November 2016, India's Drug Consultative Committee announced it was embarking on establishing a definition of drugs which could be dispensed without a prescription. Prior to this, the general assumption was that any drug which did not fall into a prescription schedule could be purchased without a prescription. However, the needed definition had not been enacted by early 2018. The lack of a legal definition for OTC drugs has led to this US$4 billion market segment being effectively unregulated.
