Beyond Cough & Cold: OTC in the Age of Prevention

This HBW Insight-led webinar brings together Jefferies' David Hayes and CHPA's Scott Melville, with HBW Insight journalists David Ridley and Malcolm Spicer, to ask a blunt question: With two disappointing cough and cold seasons behind the industry, have OTC manufacturers built a structurally fragile growth model?

As consumers grow more interested in self-care and prevention, the panel will examine whether the consumer health industry is moving fast enough to meet that demand — and what regulatory change is needed to let companies bring genuinely new products to market.
