Vetsource Partners with Wedgewood Pharmacy to Add Thousands of Commonly Prescribed Compounded Medications to the Vetsource Home Delivery Platform

PORTLAND, Ore., July 11, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Vetsource®, the only veterinary industry-endorsed Home Delivery pharmacy provider, and Wedgewood Pharmacy, the largest compounding pharmacy in the United States specializing in animal health, have partnered to add thousands of commonly prescribed compounded medications to Vetsource's Home Delivery catalog. Much of Wedgewood Pharmacy's formulary is now available to veterinarians and pet owners with prescription orders through the Vetsource platform.

"Prescribing customized prescription medications is essential to every veterinary practice," said Kurt D. Green, president and CEO of Vetsource. "Our partnership with Wedgewood Pharmacy brings another best-in-class solution to our customers, and allows us to greatly expand our offering of compounded medications through our Home Delivery program to help our partner practices run better businesses, deliver better care, and personalize their clients' experiences via an eCommerce platform they increasingly prefer."

Wedgewood Pharmacy makes customized medications for people, their pets and their horses when commercially available drugs cannot meet their needs. Compounded medications are dispensed under prescriptions written by physicians, veterinarians and other legally authorized prescribers, and are created and prepared by specially trained pharmacists and pharmacy technicians.

"We've gained our position as the largest, most trusted animal-health compounding pharmacy in the United States because we focus on helping our customers order and prescribe quality compounded preparations whenever and however they want," said Marcy A. Bliss, Wedgewood Pharmacy's president and CEO. "Our partnership with Vetsource allows veterinarians to access our extensive formulary of high-quality compounded preparations through a rapidly growing channel."

Vetsource provides innovative pharmacy, technology and business services to more than 8,000 veterinary practices across the country. As the only industry-endorsed Home Delivery pharmacy provider, it sources quality medications and nutrition products directly from the manufacturers and ships them right to pet owners' front doors. Using Vetsource's mobile-optimized ScriptRight® ePrescribing tool, veterinarians can write, review and approve prescriptions from any web-enabled device — even when they are away from the practice. Pet owners can also use Vetsource's tools through their veterinarians' online stores to request prescription refills and order nutritional and over-the-counter healthcare products.
