MVP Award Badge

You really know your customers and help them to stay well by providing expert advice on over-the-counter products.

  • Which brands do your customers reach for or ask for by name?
  • Which products do you recommend time and again with total confidence?
  • What OTC products provide the best value for your customers and your pharmacy?

Now you can vote for the products that have the most impact.

There are 26 common conditions and health-related issues including a brand-new Menopause category to reflect the growing role pharmacy teams play in supporting women’s health.

Among the shortlisted products there are established TV advertised brands, word-of-mouth market disruptors and everything in between.

The common factor that unites our winners and highly commended products is that they are selected by people who see the impact they have on their customers’ health and how they support their pharmacy business.

To cast your vote, select your personal winners in each category. Voting is quick, simple and free.

Vote today and win!
