Milder winter cools down OTC healthcare performance in 2004. OTC healthcare in Ireland witnessed another good year in 2004, with sales increasing in current value terms by 9%. Current value growth in 2004 was a bit slower than in 2003 due to a milder winter, which meant there were fewer outbreaks of colds and flu.
