Updated 14 min ago
Distribution remains healthy nationally, although sell-through continues to lag within two wholesalers. Cardiaxol demand exceeds replenishment in Gauteng, while Respireze inventory remains slow-moving in the Coastal region. Redistribution of approximately R1.2m would improve overall channel efficiency.
