    Customers in Pakistan have shown a growing preference for wound care products available at pharmacies. This preference can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, pharmacies are easily accessible to the general public, with a large number of outlets spread across the country.

As awareness about the benefits of advanced wound care products grows, customers are seeking out these products at pharmacies. Advanced wound care products offer improved healing and infection prevention capabilities, making them more effective in treating wounds. This trend is driven by the desire for faster and more efficient wound healing, particularly among individuals with chronic wounds or those who have undergone surgical procedures.
