Services
Custom Care Packs
Our automated medication packaging system creates personalized dose-specific pouches using RapidPakRx technology. This simplifies medication management for patients with complex regimens while ensuring accuracy and compliance. The system organizes medications by day and time for easier administration.
Medication Optimization
This service uses genetic testing (myRightMEDS) to determine how patients metabolize medications. By analyzing DNA through a simple cheek swab, we help prevent adverse reactions and ineffective dosing while providing lifelong medication guidance.
Cholesterol Testing
We offer complete cholesterol screening to measure HDL, LDL, and triglyceride levels. The service includes patient education about cardiovascular risk factors and recommended screening intervals for men and women at different life stages.
Oral Contraceptive Prescribing
Eligible patients can receive oral contraceptives directly from our pharmacists without a physician visit. The service includes health screening, blood pressure checks, and confidential consultations for reproductive health management.
Immunizations
We provide essential vaccinations including flu, pneumonia, shingles, and hepatitis series. Our pharmacists administer immunizations with proper storage and handling protocols while billing private insurance or offering competitive cash pricing.
