Chain Drugstore Daily Saturday, August 24, 2019 2 8 Par Pharmaceutical Offers Generic Pharmaceuticals, Sterile Injectables For more than 40 years, Par Pharmaceutical has been an industry leader in innovation, development, man- ufacturing and commercialization of generic pharmaceuticals and sterile injectables. Par Pharmaceutical is an operating company of Endo International plc, a highly focused generics and spe- cialty branded pharmaceutical company delivering quality medicines to patients in need. Endo has global headquarters in Dublin, Ireland and U.S. headquarters in Malvern, Pennsylvania. Today, Par Pharmaceutical's sales place it among the top generic pharma- ceutical companies in the United States. The company conducts manufacturing both domestically and abroad. It markets and/or licenses more than 150 prescrip- tion drug product families under the Par label as well as its sterile injectable port- folio marketed under Par Sterile Products. Par is advancing a robust research and develop- ment pipeline of potential prod- ucts, with many products awaiting FDA approval, including several first to files, and many other products in development with continued focus on Paragraph IV and first to file opportunities.

Reduce Dispensing Errors in the Pharmacy Pharmacy dispensing errors can have cat- astrophic consequences for the pharma- cist and staff, and most importantly, the patient. It makes sense that the goal of pharmacy staff is to substantially reduce such mistakes. A myriad of ways an error can occur in the process of filling a patient's prescription include illegible handwriting on the prescription, inade- quate familiarity of drug names, newly introduced medications, similar packag- ing or labeling and comparable strengths or dosage forms. One way that Uniweb can help your team improve patient safety is with inter- active shelf markers. In addition to proto- col of placing alert labels on the stock RX bottle or instituting pop-up warnings in the computer system, using Uniweb's high alert medication "Look Alike Sound Alike" (LASA) label holders can enhance accurate identification. By plac- ing a sticker or label on a shelf marker that is fixed to the shelf above the drug and has to be physically moved by RX staff in order to reach the required drug, it triggers a caution to the team that the medicine might be confused with another LASA drug. Moreover, maintaining a clutter-free workspace and organized workflow has been shown to significantly decrease dis- pensing errors. Adequate counter space and proper drug storage can allow an efficient flow of work from one job to the next, consequently lessening the opportu- nity of a dispensing error. Uniweb RX Systems offer a plethora of products for customers looking to increase their phar- macy's storage and profits without any dramatic increase in overall footprint. For example, Uniweb crafts customer specified counter wall fixtures, RX wall fixtures, gon- dolas, end caps, will call systems, OTC, queuing, drop-off and pick-up counters and HIPAA RX locking units. One major benefit is that Uniweb will increase product storage by a mini- mum of 17 percent to 25 percent, and in some cases, by as much as 50 percent. The movable 16-inch trays can be posi- tioned on the panel to accommodate the tallest bottle. Additionally, the Uniweb RX bay system does not create a break in between bays, but instead allows for con- tinuous inventory shelving, maximizing total storage capacities. Uniweb can also provide pre-engi- neered modular pharmacy rooms con- taining locking cabinets, adjustable height workstations, under- counter vial drawers, printer pull-outs, shelves, doors, OTC displays and will call. Installation of a modular room can be completed in two to three days and is pre-wired with a UL-Listed modular wiring system and can be tied into the store's power and plumbing. Pharmacy operations are faced with numerous challenges: improve customer service, increase productivity, maintain pharmacy security, add new technology and bring the operation in on budget. Let Uniweb help with one vital goal – increasing RX dispensing safety. All products are proudly made in the USA for nearly 50 years. Visit Uniweb at booth #2231.

Clinically-Tested Skincare from Remedy Dermatology Series New Remedy Dermatology Series Moisturizing Lotion was formulated by leading skincare specialists to provide a higher level of care not often available in the retail market. It was developed as a non-prescription solution for dermatolo- gists to recommend to those seeking help for rough, dry, irritated skin due to fac- tors such as age, weather, physical dam- age or some health conditions. From the beginning, the product was specifically formulated for dermatolo- gists, and dermatologist tested. It uses a rich, gentle botanical formula that pro- vides a number of important benefits to skin: hydration, moisturization, nutrition and antioxidants to soothe irritation. Among the botanical ingredients are safflower oleosomes, naturally encapsu- lated oils which burst open for lasting moisturization. Green tea and blue-green algae provide skin nutrition and soothing antioxidant properties. Soy protein, yeast extract and vitamin D help attract and retain moisture into the skin, as well as provide vital nutrients. Pure dimethicone is added to provide a soft, smooth texture and to help maintain moisture balance. Of nearly equal importance is what is not in Remedy Dermatology Series Lotion. Formulated for extreme gentleness, it contains none of the ingredients listed on the North American 80 Comprehensive Series List (NAC 80) of possible allergens. That means it has no aloe, parabens, phthalates or non- natural fragrances that are com- monly found in other skincare products and cosmetics. For the consumer, skincare can be a highly subjective matter. However, one evaluation skin specialists use to test moisturization measures the amount of water skin loses over time. In terms of product performance, it reveals how well the product helps skin retain the moisture balance it needs. In a head-to-head compar- ison with a leading competitive moisturiz- ing lotion, Remedy lotion significantly out- performed the competition 24 hours after application (complete study details avail- able on request from Medline Remedy ® ). Medline Remedy is the leading provider of skin care products to hospitals and long-term care facilities. Now, Remedy Dermatology Series Moisturizing Lotion is its first product made specifically for the retail market. Packaging is designed to stand out from other therapeutic lotions on shelf, highlighting the effectiveness and gentle, botanical formula. It is available in 3-ounce, 8-ounce and 12-ounce bottles.
