U.S. Online Pharmacy Market – Dynamics
Online pharmacies are shifting their focus toward the direct-to-consumer (DTC) model of working. DTC advertising is seen as a big weapon for online pharma marketing and a successful trend in the US online pharmacy market. The patients come across medicines through social media platforms and fill in their details, get appointments with doctors, and discuss their medical history. After a day or two, the medicines are delivered directly to the patients’ doorsteps. This simplified process saves a lot of time and eliminates unnecessary steps involved in procuring medicines. Online pharmacies play a significant role in this process by partnering with companies to distribute their products as per the patient’s requirement. The DTC is more suitable for low-risk products, such as generic medications that are used to treat conditions that can be diagnosed virtually. However, the scenario has changed as DTC has included other medicines, which is attributable to the evolving consumer behavior and the growing opportunity to engage directly with patients.
