medium article 2 min

Redcare Pharmacy, die Muttergesellschaft von Shop Apotheke, verzeichnete im ersten Quartal einen Umsatzanstieg von 18 Prozent auf 848 Millionen Euro, was zu einem Kursanstieg der Aktie führte. Das Unternehmen, mit Sitz in den Niederlanden, ist Europas größter Online-Arzneimittelversender und ein ungeliebter Konkurrent für traditionelle Apotheken in Deutschland. Redcare argumentiert, dass sein Fachpersonal durch ein internes System bessere Patientensicherheit gewährleistet. Während Online-Apotheken bereits einen bedeutenden Anteil am Markt für rezeptfreie Medikamente haben, verspricht das elektronische Rezept weiteres Wachstum, insbesondere im Bereich verschreibungspflichtiger Medikamente, wo Redcare einen Umsatzanstieg von 55 Prozent in Deutschland verzeichnete.
