On 18 April 2013 in the Topacz Castle in Ślęza near Wrocław the 10th jubilee Gala was organized by the Apteka [Pharmacy] Publishing House. The representatives of pharmaceutical companies whose products were selected by pharmacists as "Products of the Year 2013" in particular therapeutic groups were invited to the Gala.
The "Product of the Year" title is granted once a year on the basis of a questionnaire carried out among pharmacists by the Pharmacy Publishing House on behalf of the "Pharmacy World".
Its objective is to distinguish products especially recommended by pharmacists working in pharmacies on a daily basis. In this year's 10th edition of the competition there were winning products in 86 categories which were awarded the "Product of the Year 2013" title. Our preparation, Menoplant Soy-a 40+ was awarded a prize in the category "Preparations for the Menopause". Agnieszka Gużda, Product Manager, collected the prize.
Menoplant Soy-a 40+ is a natural preparation of plant origin, supplementing the daily diet with soy isoflavones – phytoestrogens which can alleviate the ailments connected with the menopause. It has been trusted by many thousands of women for many years, which can be proved by such awards as, for instance, the Consumer's Laurels (2006), and - as we could learn - also by pharmacists who can perceive the dynamic changes in the OTC preparations and dietary supplements market and who value our preparations very much.
We would like to thank the pharmacists participating in this year's edition of the questionnaire for the trust they showed us. We will make every effort to find our preparation among the winners in the following editions of the competition, too.
