Instant medication now available at Atracare
Atracare will become the first medical practice in Delaware to offer InstyMeds, a state-of-the-art medication-dispensing machine designed to expedite the delivery of medications to patients. InstyMeds machines are designed to get sick patients their medications immediately so that they can go home and begin to feel better, quicker.
Most commonly needed antibiotics, along with cough and cold medications, are dispensed from the machine. The formulary of products was designed to deliver medications that are needed right away, like Amoxicillin for ear infections, Tamiflu for influenza or antibiotic drops for pink eye.
“The idea here is to alleviate the pain that patients experience from infection or illness as quickly as possible,” said pharmacist and Atracare CEO William Albanese. “Putting the medications in the patient's hands as they leave the clinic also increases compliance with the medications. Studies show that only about 70% of prescriptions get filled when they are sent to the pharmacy. InstyMeds has a 97% compliance rate. That’s huge.”
The delivery of medications at the clinic also means that patients can skip an added stop at the pharmacy. At this moment, pharmacies are experiencing staffing shortages, closures and medication shortages. Therefore, access to medications is everything to patients.
The costs at InstyMeds machines are low, with most of the medications priced at an even $20. There is no need to worry about insurance authorizations. You get your medication at the visit and avoid the pharmacy wait.
