Valisure And Capital Rx Announce A Partnership Focused On Increasing Quality Assurance In The Pharmaceutical Industry
NEW HAVEN, Conn. and NEW YORK, March 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Valisure, the first online Analytical Pharmacy, and Capital Rx, a next generation pharmacy benefits manager overseeing self-insured prescription benefit plans for employers, unions, and government entities, announced today a partnership that gives Capital Rx's members access to Valisure's chemically batch-validated medications.
Through this agreement, Capital Rx's customers will have the ability to purchase medications directly from Valisure, the only pharmacy in the U.S. that performs chemical analysis on every batch of medication it sells. This oversight is particularly important now that roughly 90% of the prescription market is comprised of generics, which regularly contend with drug recalls. Valisure delivers medications that come with an easy-to-read certificate of analysis specifying important chemical properties analyzed at Valisure's lab located in Yale Science Park.
"The prescription drug industry is the only retail market immune from strong consumer demands for transparency and recognizable quality. At Valisure, we believe that you have a right to know more about your meds than just that they came in an orange bottle and have a number printed on them," said David Light, CEO and Founder of Valisure. "Capital Rx shares our mission to put the needs of patients first by delivering increased quality assurance direct to consumers."
"In Valisure, Capital Rx has found a likeminded partner that identified flaws in the existing system but also delivers the vision and technology required to advance the industry," stated Joseph Alexander, COO of Capital Rx. "Through this partnership, Capital Rx provides customers with a valuable service and reinforces our commitment to innovation."
