In Nigeria’s fast-paced healthcare environment, community pharmacies are on the frontlines offering first contact care for most people. Stocking the right medications isn’t just about healthcare, it’s about meeting demand and staying competitive.
Here are the top 10 essential medicines that every community pharmacy should prioritize:
Felvin – A strong pain reliever used for headaches, body pain, and joint inflammation.
Tetracycline – A broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections like acne, STIs, and respiratory infections.
Kiss Condom – A barrier method contraceptive used to prevent pregnancy and protect against STIs.
Neofylin Syrup – A bronchodilator syrup used for managing asthma and breathing difficulties.
Babyrex Baby Mixture – A paediatric syrup used for treating cough, catarrh, and cold symptoms in babies.
