We found the pharmaceutical remedy.
We are pharmacists who believe everyone should have access to the medication they need, regardless of financial status. Our mission is to solve the financial and environmental problems of prescription waste by legally collecting unused, good condition prescription medication to share with patients who could not otherwise afford it. By treating extra medication as a resource and through partnerships with lawmakers, providers, advocates, pharmacists, nonprofits and patients, we strive to ensure no patient in need goes without.
Our Values
1. RemediChain strives to solve the financial and environmental problems of prescription waste.
No viable prescription drugs should be wasted while a patient goes without lifesaving medications.
2. Price should not prevent patients from accessing the medications they need.
We help connect unused, unexpired medications from patients who don’t need them with patients who do.
3. Make prescription donation and reuse an accessible and acceptable practice across the world.
RemediChain has made great strides in making prescription donation legal in the United States, and we are actively working to make dispensing those drugs legal nationwide. Eventually, such a program can and should be global in nature. Read about our organization’s efforts towards these changes here.
How RemediChain works:
1. Tennessee law allows anyone in the United States to legally donate a variety of unexpired,
unused, and good condition medications to RemediChain at its Memphis facility.
This includes pills, patches, inhalers, injectables, over-the-counter medications, prescription drugs and specialty medications.
2. RemediChain’s inventory of donated medication is safe.
Every donation is inspected by a licensed pharmacist prior to being logged into inventory. Only unopened, unexpired drugs in good condition are accepted. Drugs that do not meet RemediChain’s standards are appropriately destroyed.
3. Qualifying patients will receive their medications fast.
Qualification is based on the patient’s specific needs, their resident state laws, and a complete financial picture. Many RemediChain patients have insurance but struggle to afford the necessary
co-pay on pricey prescriptions or can’t wait on lengthy prior authorizations.
