**: WeChat*** pharmacy manager".
Recently, in the face of the surge in sales of drugs such as oseltamivir, many pharmacies seem to be "light and light" and no longer purchase on a large scale as in the past.
Recently, I chatted with several owners of chain pharmacies and talked about the recent hot sales of drugs such as oseltamivir. The bosses are very calm and indifferent, and they are not as quick to grab the goods as they did at the beginning of the year, even if the ** has risen, for fear that these in-demand products will be missing on the counters and warehouses of their pharmacies.
At that time, almost every pharmacy went crazy, **entered, **sold, and made quick money. Who knows that it didn't take long for the flu to pass, and the drugs that were originally in demand were not easy to sell, not only were the counters full of drugs in this area, but almost every chain pharmacy still had a lot of stock in their warehouses.
A few months later, there hasn't been much movement in sales. The bosses began to be anxious, the drug is expiration, what will be brought to the pharmacy by a long time of unsalable, the bosses know very well, so they do everything possible to do **, or find ways to transfer part of the inventory. On the other hand, if it is sold back to pharmaceutical companies or manufacturers, but at this time, the purchase is settled in cash, and now everyone has inventory, which is obviously not possible.
Therefore, the owners of chain pharmacies can only put these drugs on the counter of their own stores and sell them little by little, as much as they want.
Unexpectedly, since last week, oseltamivir and other drugs have been selling well again, and mycoplasma pneumonia has begun to rage in many cities, and many hospitals have been overcrowded. But in the wake of the flu, the owners of the pharmacies chains did not stock up in large quantities as they did the year before or at the end of last year, and most of them were digesting the products in their own warehouses. Then adopt the principle of how much is missing, do not press the goods, continue to sell, do not seek high gross profits, as long as there are goods on the counter, and do not want to be troubled by the pressure of the warehouse.
Pharmacy sales, much more rational than before
The hot sales of oseltamivir and other drugs this time are inseparable factors from the occurrence of winter flu. In fact, such influenza occurs in areas every year, and under normal circumstances, there will be no large-scale outbreaks, and most of the chain pharmacies have a certain amount of drug inventory, after all, they have been operating pharmacies for so many years. Unless there is a nationwide flu, then normal stocks of medicines are clearly insufficient.
In addition, after the special period of the past three years, the people's psychology of buying drugs has become more and more rational, and it is difficult to buy and hoard drugs in a fearful way like at the beginning of the year. The same is true for chain pharmacies, too much hoarding not only did not make the money it deserved, but lost money because of the purchase of goods at the first time and finally sold at a low price.
Buying and selling medicines is the workflow of chain pharmacies;Out of stock and pressure on the warehouse are the results that chain pharmacies do not want to see. In the past three years, the pharmacy has been operating in the past three years, and the owner of the pharmacy has already had an account book in his heart. It is necessary to understand that the operation of pharmacies should also conform to the development law of the pharmaceutical market, and any opportunistic approach will ultimately have to pay for their own business.
The sudden peak of drug sales should be treated scientifically by pharmacies
Every year, there will be several epidemics of regional influenza or its infectious diseases, and there will be a large-scale epidemic of infectious diseases in a few years or more than a decade, which is normal and natural.
Due to people's panic psychology, there may be a rush to buy drugs in a short period of time, which will lead to some drugs being sold out of stock all at once.
At this time, both pharmaceutical companies and pharmaceutical companies and chain pharmacies will be shocked by this sudden rush to buy. Or hurry up to order raw materials, start mass production at full horsepower, or hurry up to buy a large number of drugs from manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies to increase their inventory, for fear of the danger of running out of stock, at this time has not considered the level of the first.
As a result, there are very few chain pharmacies that can really make money, unless you have an innate spirit, stock up in advance, sell inventory, and no longer buy goods.
Therefore, how to look at the epidemic of sudden influenza or other infectious diseases must be based on the actual situation of the market, especially when everyone is rushing for goods, and it is necessary to calmly judge the speed and depth of the spread of epidemic diseases.
