Dermatology drugs, once one of the fastest-growing segments in the market segment, also fell 30 percent.Slow-disease drugs such as diabetes and heart disease were the second-largest in terms of sales growth, mainly because of fears of panic purchases due to a shortage of drugs, and the purchase of home-based drugs for long periods of time, resulting in a 20 per cent and 10 per cent increase, respectively.In addition, under the epidemic prevention and control measures, cancer patients as a vulnerable group of low immunity, hospitals across India have postponed non-essential chemotherapy, so, cancer drug sales have also declined, according to industry sources, this drug sales can also decline unprecedented.Indian Prime Minister Naodi announced on March 25 that a 21-day nationwide blockade had begun, and according to pharmacies, sales of anti-infected drugs fell significantly after a peak in early March, with the head of a drugstore chain saying that this was mainly due to the outbreak leading to a decline in the incidence of other infectious diseases and the decision by those with minor illnesses to postpone hospital visits.
