PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Positive trajectory ahead for analgesics in Slovakia
Analgesics in Slovakia is expected to maintain a positive trajectory over the forecast period. Systemic products are widely used to manage pain and fever associated with seasonal respiratory and gastrointestinal infections, supporting consistent demand.
Innovation as a growth driver
Innovation is expected to play a key role in sustaining growth. Companies are likely to expand with more specific pain positionings, such as products designed for back pain, menstrual pain, headache or cervical pain.
Restrictions on broader availability
The pharmacy-first distribution model is strongly endorsed by Slovak health authorities, which view it as essential for monitoring analgesic use, reducing misuse and managing risks linked to drug interactions. While some neighbouring countries, such as the Czech Republic, allow selected medicines to be sold outside pharmacies, this model is highly unlikely to be adopted in Slovakia in the near future.
