Purkinje | DRx offers a convenient, proven method for supplying your patients with the medications they need at the time of their office visit. For nearly 20 years, Purkinje has been a trusted supplier of pre-packaged medications to physician's offices and clinics throughout the United States.

Increase Income
Dispensing is a great way to generate additional income for your practice. The net revenue per prescription dispensed typically ranges anywhere from five to twenty dollars. Depending on patient and prescription writing volume a physician can earn an additional $50,000 or more in income per year.

Increase Patient Satisfaction
Patients appreciate the convenience that in-office dispensing provides. Instead of making a separate trip to the pharmacy, patients who are ill, in pain, post-op, or just very busy can get their prescriptions filled in your office at the time of their visit. More importantly practices can save their patients money on medications. Patients without insurance can save significant dollars and most medications can be priced at or below the level of a typical co-payment, so even those with drug benefits will benefit.

Improve Compliance
In-office dispensing helps to improve patient treatment compliance. Studies indicate that as many as 20% of patients never fill their prescriptions. In-office dispensing ensures that patients have the medications they need at the point of care, increasing compliance and improving patient outcomes.
