Since 1981, Northwind Pharmaceuticals has worked with clinics across the country to help serve their patients with pre-packaged pharmaceuticals and in-office medication support.
Today, Northwind supports hundreds of student health centers, community health centers and physician practices around the country.
Clinic Dispensing is the act of providing prescription medications to patients at the point of care. Legal in almost every state, clinic dispensing is also called point-of-care dispensing and physician dispensing. Northwind Pharmaceuticals fits into this model by providing dispensing practitioners pharmaceuticals in ready-to-dispense packaging plus the tools to legally label and track dispensed medications.
Dispensing at the point-of-care provides the following benefits:
- Convenience to the patient
- Improved patient compliance
- Revenue to the clinic
- Clinic differentiation
Most clinics focus on dispensing generic medications. Based on prescribing patterns, dispensed medications could include:
- Antibiotics
- Analgesics
- Lotions
- Creams
- Ointments
- Suspensions
- Many cough, cold and allergy OTCs
These medications are ready-to-dispense. This means that they are packaged in unit-of-use sizes/counts to complete a course of therapy. Because the bottles come packaged in the appropriate dispensing count with full FDA compliant labeling, no one in the office has to count pills or worry about labeling.
