shutterstock_71583787_w640Northwind Pharmaceuticals provides prepackaged medications and manufacturer labeled pharmaceuticals for physician dispensing within the clinic.  Northwind also provides medical supplies to clinics. We ship nationwide and specialize in working with worksite clinics, occupational health centers, urgent care practices, student health centers, dental clinics, weight management practices and a variety of other practice types.

Northwind’s dispensing system encompasses labeling and tracking tools to make the medication dispensing process as easy as possible for the clinic.  Northwind labeled bottles display all required pharmaceutical information and provide four peel-off labels for use on patient medical records, receipts or insurance documentation.  Our dispensing log enables the clinic to write the patient’s name and medication instructions on a label that is placed on the bottle.  The labels are on a carbon sheet that retains an image of the label so the clinic has a record of all dispenses.

Northwind also offers dispensing software that automates the pharmaceutical dispensing process.  MD Scripts allows clinics to capture dispensing information electronically and print the prescription label from any office printer.  MD Scripts will also track drug inventory and automate reordering.  To learn more about our web-based dispensing solution, check out our recent blog post entitled Best in Class Dispensing – MD Scripts.  Northwind Pharmaceuticals offers both of these dispensing solutions at no additional charge.

Clinics seeking to learn more about in-office pharmaceutical dispensing are encouraged to visit the Northwind website or call us at 800.722.0772.
