Sales will increase further when supply increases

Online pharmacy companies say that they are getting less supply than demand. If supply increases, there may be a further increase in sales. According to Prashant Tandon, co-founder and CEO of 1mg, customers are refraining from visiting chemist shops and diagnostic centers to take medicines and get them tested as there is a risk of infection. Because of this, they are doing more online shopping for medicines. Online pharmacy companies are getting more demand for supplements like mask, oxygen can, PPE kit, pulse oximeter and limcee tablet.
