Last week I posted about how all pharmacies now are being forced to be brandless, well it sucks that it’s happening.
Over the weekend I needed to get a specific plaster from a pharmacy which according to Talabat only Al Hajery Pharmacy had. Great, so I decided to pass by Al Hajery Pharmacy to get it since it’s a 500fils item and didn’t make sense to order it with Talabat. I couldn’t find an Al Hajery Pharmacy.
I obviously knew pharmacies were brandless now but I thought I remembered an area in Hawally where one branch was located. I also knew they used the color green for their branding so I figured it wouldn’t be so hard to find it. I was wrong. I went to three different green pharmacies in that area, two turned out to be Al Mutawa and one a Pharmazone!
I haven’t come across any news article about this change so I still don’t know what the reason behind this decision is. As an example of what I mean by pharmacies going brandless, the image on top is of a Boots store at The Avenues.

im positive that whoever made the decision thought long and hard about it, and that in-depth research was carried out, many committees discussed it in great detail, , and that the decision makers wisely decided that this is the best thing for the country as a whole, god bless their wise thinking and decisiveness
This has always been the case!
Welcome to Kuwait. How decisions are made and final.
Boots is an international brand licensed by Al-Shaya, why did the new regulations have to affect it?
It affects all brands local and internationally
