Antacid tablets in the United States
For the most part, antacids are a non-prescription medicine (over-the-counter) that is used to relieve heartburn or indigestion caused by excess stomach acid. They either directly neutrailze acidity, increasing the pH, or reversibly reduce or block the secretion of acid by gastric cells.
Despite the minor decrease in sales in this product category, pharmacy sales are growing in the grocery channel for a number of reasons. For one, having a pharmacy presence creates many opportunities for retailers to provide additional services to customers. As a result, shelf strategy has become a primary focus for retailers. Placing products where consumers expect to find it is critical; creating a visual interruption at the point of purchase has proven to be a cost effective and successful way to generate awareness and trial in the category.
