FAQ

What are the benefits to outsourcing repackaging services?

RemedyRepack has more than a decade of experience repackaging medications for a variety of medical providers and institutions. By leveraging our industry professionals and FDA-compliant processes, you will save money on space, technology, manpower, and equipment investments that FDA-compliant repackaging requires.

Can you help with BCMA (Bar Code Medication Administration)?

RemedyRepack has always been on the cutting edge of barcode technologies used in today’s medical offices, facilities, and institutions. We have helped our current clients face the challenges associated with this technology by delivering to them medications with custom packaging options (unit-dose and unit-of-use) and custom labeling and barcode solutions. These solutions ensure that our clients do not waste or lose medications and that they capture all revenue associated with in-office dispensing and/or administration.

How does the repackaging partnership work?

We collaborate with your present distributor to make the procedure as simple as possible for you. You provide RemedyRepack with the repackaging and labeling instructions, then contact your current distributor to order the medications and have them drop-ship your order to us for repackaging.

What drugs can be repackaged?

RemedyRepack offers a wide variety of repackaging methods for oral solids, oral liquid cups, controlled substances, penicillin-based and non-penicillin-based beta-lactam drug products.

RemedyRepack also offers hazardous pharmaceutical repackaging services and may assist your facility with the important parts of USP 800.

What are the benefits of physician dispensing?

• Patient convenience and medication compliance
• Eliminates the need to phone prescriptions into the pharmacy
• Assists patients with dosing questions or concerns
• Provides an additional stream of revenue at a low cost
