Abstract

The company's strategy is now required in order for the corporation to respond to any environmental problems. The pharmaceutical industry has a great interest in analyzing the effectiveness of marketing communication of prescription drugs since prescription drugs represent the main source of income for the pharmaceutical industry. Marketing communication of prescription drugs is not aimed primarily at the consumer because they are not the ultimate decision makers to choose a particular drug for... More their disease, but at doctors who prescribe drugs from pharmaceutical manufacturers to patients. However, as the list of OTC drugs increases from the day, the problem is to position oneself in the minds of consumers and therefore there is a growing interest in analyzing the effectiveness of marketing communication of OTC drugs that is aimed at consumers. The main reasons for the increasing number of OTC medicines on the market are the transition of medicines from prescription to OTC due to the higher safety profile and the rapid development of the global generic market, which is why there are OTC medicines on the market of numerous pharmaceutical companies that contain the same active substance, i.e. have the same purpose and purpose. For the purpose of this thesis research on how people choose to purchase and use over-the-counter (OTC) medications was made using questionare. Less

Abstract (croatian)

Danas je potrebna strategija tvrtke kako bi korporacija odgovorila na sve ekološke probleme. Farmaceutska industrija ima veliki interes za analizu učinkovitosti marketinške komunikacije lijekova na recept budući da lijekovi na recept predstavljaju glavni izvor prihoda farmaceutske industrije. Marketinška komunikacija lijekova na recept nije prvenstveno usmjerena na potrošače jer oni nisu krajnji donositelji odluka o odabiru pojedinog lijeka za svoju bolest, već na liječnike koji pacijentima... More propisuju lijekove proizvođača lijekova. No, kako se lista bezreceptnih lijekova iz dana u dan povećava, problem je pozicionirati se u svijesti potrošača pa je sve veći interes za analizom učinkovitosti marketinške komunikacije OTC lijekova usmjerene prema potrošačima. Glavni razlozi sve većeg broja OTC lijekova na tržištu su prelazak lijekova s ​​recepta na OTC zbog većeg sigurnosnog profila te brzi razvoj globalnog generičkog tržišta, zbog čega su OTC lijekovi na tržištu brojnih farmaceutskih tvrtki koje sadrže istu djelatnu tvar, tj. imaju istu namjenu i namjenu. Za potrebe ovog diplomskog rada istraživanje o tome kako se ljudi odlučuju na kupnju i korištenje lijekova koji se izdaju bez recepta (OTC) provedeno je pomoću upitnika. Less
