Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/16/2014 -- While generics continuing to play a big role in other categories such as analgesics, in digestive remedies, generics are not so popular amongst consumers. The reason behind the popularity that branded medicines enjoy in digestive remedies is linked to consumers not being familiar with the active principle/ingredient present in digestive remedies. While consumers are widely familiar with active principle for analgesics, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, they are not familiar with Dimeticona or Brometo de N-Butilescopolamina. As a result, the branded products for the former active principle/ingredients drew the attention of consumers.

Competitive Landscape

GlaxoSmithKline Brasil continued to hold the leading position in digestive remedies in 2013, with 15% value share, mainly driven by the large popularity of its brands Sal de Fruta Eno and Sonrisal, which combined to hold 46% of total value share for antacids in 2013.
