Jennifer Rann, head of OTC at Numark said: “We are incredibly proud to be the largest own label OTC offering in pharmacy wholesale. Our Numark product range provides quality and value for our UK members and their customers.”

She also highlighted Numark’s ongoing efforts to research the OTC market and explore new product development opportunities to further expand their range, providing even more value to both its members and customers.
