What we supply

Every line Brand OTC stocks, named in one place.

There is no product list or price sheet here, because a secondary source's stock moves week to week. What does not move is which six lines Brand OTC works in: three with a page of their own, and three that round out the same shelf below.

Where most calls start

The three lines pharmacies call about first

Open shelf bay of small sealed cartons standing on end in a wholesale warehouse

Over the counter medicine

Analgesics, cough and cold, antacids, first aid, sleep and allergy: the front counter items that move fastest and are usually the first thing to run short when a primary wholesaler is slow or out. This is the line most buyers first call a secondary source about.

Supplements

Vitamins, minerals and the wider supplement wall, where demand tends to swing hard on season and on whatever a customer just read about. That kind of swing is exactly what a fixed contract order cycle handles worst, which is where a second phone call comes in.

Health and beauty products

The general health and beauty aisle: a margin line at the front of the pharmacy that earns its shelf space, but is usually the last thing a busy buyer notices running low. Covered in more detail on its own page, alongside the beauty, hair and skin care lines beside it.

The rest of the wall

Beauty, hair care and skin care supplies

These three round out the same shelf space as health and beauty, and pharmacies usually order them together rather than as separate lines.

Plain cardboard cases packed tight across a pallet on a lower warehouse rack beam

Beauty supplies

The applicators, tools and consumables that sell alongside the rest of the aisle.

Sealed cases lined up in a row on a warehouse floor beside a low steel conveyor

Hair care supplies

Shampoo, conditioner, styling and treatment lines, stocked the same way as the rest.

Wrapped pallets squared up in front of a closed roller shutter dock door

Skin care supplies

Cleansers, moisturisers, sun care and treatment skin lines, in the same wholesale terms.
