Additionally, there is a growing demand for combination analgesics that contain multiple active ingredients to target different types of pain.

Local special circumstances: In certain countries, there are specific regulations and restrictions on the sale of analgesics in pharmacies. For example, some countries require a prescription for certain types of analgesics, limiting their availability in pharmacies.
