At MedPro Rx, our ability to manage the "cold supply chain" process
is unparalled. Simply stated, we manage product shipment preparation,
packaging and shipment, so that products requiring refrigeration maintain
appropriate
temperatures throughout the entire distribution process from our facilities
to the site of administration. We ship all “cold chain” products by overnight
carrier, and we keep the “elements” in mind. Depending
on the season and the shipment location, products are appropriately
packaged to minimize the effects of weather, including protection from
extreme heat and cold over prolonged periods of time. We also have the
ability to track shipments along the way. When one of our healthcare practitioners
or patients inquires as to the location or arrival time of a shipment,
we can provide that information.
Specifically, our MedPro Rx pharmacists know the temperature guidelines
for each medication dispensed, and we do everything possible to assure
that our products are shipped within these guidelines. Because products shipped
at temperatures
below or above recommended guidelines can lose potency,
we utilize insulated packaging, approved refrigerants and the latest
technology at our facilities.
