Northwind Pharmaceuticals provides pharmaceuticals to clinics for in-office dispensing.  Founded in 1981, Northwind offers a variety of products to physicians interested in providing medication dispensing services to patients.  Based in Indianapolis, Indiana, Northwind is centrally located for quick shipping to locations across the United States.

Here is a summary of our offerings:

  • Prepackaged pharmaceuticals – bulk product repackaged into unit-of-use sizes for physician dispensing.

You can view a complete list of our pharmaceuticals and medical supplies in our online catalog.

Northwind offers two dispensing systems to clinics interested in pharmaceutical dispensing.  Our manual system uses carbon labels to capture patient information and medication instructions.  The labels are kept in a logbook for accurate record keeping.  We also offer RxTracker, a web-based system which allows clinics to track inventory, print patient labels and reorder electronically.  Both systems are offered at no-charge to Northwind Pharmaceuticals customers.

We make ordering easy.  Clinics can order through our online catalog, send us an email, fax their order or call our toll free number.  We accept orders 24 hours a day and most products are shipped the same day the order is received.
