C h a i n D r u g s t o r e D a i l y M o n d a y, A u g u s t 8 , 2 0 1 6 3 0 GET MORE, DO MORE WITH RXSAFE'S PHARMACY SOLUTIONS By William Holmes, Chief Executive Officer, RxSafe, LLC When you ask pharmacies what they value about the automated medication storage and retrieval systems they've purchased from RxSafe, they consistently cite: 1) accuracy and speed; 2) space savings; 3) narcotics security; and 4) inventory man- agement. Since RxSafe's technology goes beyond vial filling robots and works well with other industry automation, more things are possible than ever before. Accuracy and Speed When you're busy, the RxSafe 1800™ system really shines. Users report that a single operator can routinely fill at an effective rate of more than 100 scripts per hour with unparalleled accuracy. Space Savings If your space is tight, or there's better use for the space, RxSafe is the solution. In a three-tower system up to 5,400 stock bot- tle containers fit in 40 square feet of space. It represents an evolutionary leap in pharmacy automation technology because it goes beyond drawer-based systems. Unlike vial filling robots that hold a small percentage of your formula- ry, an RxSafe system can securely hold virtually all of your oral solid stock bot- tles. Narcotics Security With one open bottle at a time, there's less chance for error, no wasted inven- tory, no narcotics theft. In fact, the RxSafe 1800 is so secure it's been approved by the U.S. Department of Defense for CII narcotics storage and dispensing. Several RxSafe users have reported that in after hours burglaries, nothing was taken from their RxSafe systems – nothing! Inventory Management With the RxSafe 1800, inventory is always 100 percent accurate because it stores stock bottles behind locked doors and forces work- flow at one station without the added expense of other software or hard- ware. Remote Stock Management is another standard feature of the RxSafe 1800. RxSafe users report significant reductions in on hand inventory dol- lars. Customer Testimonials "The accuracy that the RxSafe phar- macy automation provides has improved my peace of mind. Now I don't have to worry about errors and I feel secure knowing that what is dispensed is 100 percent correct." —John's Pharmacy, John Smith, Owner "Our RxSafe automation freed up space, time and people in our pharmacy so we could do other things." — Medicine Shoppe (MS0805), Ed Potts, Owner "When we were broken into last year, the burglars took drugs off the shelf, but they didn't even touch the RxSafe." —J & M Pharmacy, Kevin Faust, Owner "Our inventory is always accurate and therefore what we order is always accurate." —Donlon Pharmacy, Mathew Maker, Owner About RxSafe For pharmacy owners who are focused on improving the accuracy and safety of their business operations, RxSafe is an automated, high-density robotic storage and retrieval system that helps pharma- cies avoid medication errors.

QUALITY, INTEGRITY FROM CAMBER PHARMACEUTICALS An interview with Kon Ostaficiuk, President, Camber Pharmaceuticals. CDD: Tell our readers about Camber Pharmaceuticals. What makes you unique in the marketplace? KO: Camber Pharmaceuticals is a fully integrated international pharmaceutical company that maintains quality and integrity in all its products. Our commit- ment to the consumer is to bring the high- est quality generic pharmaceuticals to the market to improve quality of life through cost-effective medications. We have been one of the fastest growing generic phar- maceutical companies since 2009. One of the things that makes us unique is that we have complete control of our supply chain from API to finished dosage. Our parent company, Hetero Drugs of Hyderabad India, is one of the world's leading API manufacturers, so we are vertically integrated from R&D all the way through marketing and distri- bution. CDD: What do retailers need to do to maximize traffic, sales and profits from the pharmacy? KO: Beyond managing a patient's med- ication, more and more pharmacies are offering greater pharmacist/patient inter- action including blood pressure, vision and hearing tests, diabetes management, immunizations and the like. These all foster the types of relationships that will build respect and loyalty among the patient population. This is just good business and I'm sure the trend will continue to grow. Also, pharmacies are employing new technologies that help manage the flow of patient data, automate prescription dis- pensing and much more. This allows the pharmacist to spend more "quality time" assisting patients. CDD: What are some of the challenges facing the industry? KO: There are always roadblocks to profitability and they continue to change in this dynamic marketplace. Lower reimbursement from third parties, cus- tomer consolidation and preferred phar- macy networks are the challenges you hear about most often. Generic drug shortages can also factor into this equa- tion. That said, the overall health of the industry is good and people seem to be optimistic about the future. CDD: How can Camber help? KO: Camber can help by remain- ing true to our core mission, which is to provide affordable medica- tions to as many people as possible. Our parent company Hetero Drugs is com- mitted to increasing R&D and manufac- turing capacities to meet the demands of the millions of patients that are still deprived of access to treatment. Our Chairman B.P.S.Reddy likes to remind us: "We are in the life-saving business and we believe not only in the survival of our patients but also in a superior quality of life."

INTRODUCING SYNODRIN JOINT HEALTH POWERED BY IMMUNODRIN Synodrin, offering a complete joint health solution, provides both a topical analgesic and an oral supplement formulated to pro- vide muscle, joint and arthritis pain relief. The difference between Synodrin and other products on the shelf is IMMUN- ODRIN™; its proprietary active ingredi- ent clinically proven to reduce inflamma- tion and provide immune support. Synodrin delivers value to your cus- tomers through three points of differenti- ation. First, Synodrin will be the only brand to market that provides IMMUN- ODRIN, a powerful Omega-5 which tar- gets inflammation naturally and provides immune support. Second, Synodrin will present a cohesive, national brand mes- sage that addresses both internal and external joint health. Lastly, Synodrin is dedicated to supporting its retail partners with a significant investment in a com- prehensive, 360 advertising and market- ing campaign. Its investment will quick- ly increase brand awareness while driv- ing sales and customer traffic to your stores. Beginning this fall, Synodrin Complete Joint Health products will be available nationwide in drug and grocery channels, with its national media invest- ment slated to start October 1st. This retail support program includes partner- ships with Google, Print FSIs and Coupons.com. Its primary goal will be to systematically drive new shopping trips into the joint health category while improving buyer conversion with exist- ing customers. The company is so confi- dent that its products will work for your customers, it offers a no hassle 100 per- cent money back customer guarantee. Why Synodrin? Natural Solutions for Life, the makers of the Synodrin Complete Joint Health product line, are head- quartered in Robinson, Illinois, and have been manu- facturing all natural joint health supplements for nearly 15 years. Each of its products are formu- lated using only the highest quality ingre- dients available in its cGMP and FDA registered facilities. "Our core competency is joint health. It's what we do, it's who we are," said Ron Cotting, Vice President of Operations. Synodrin's formulation methodolo- gy includes ingredients that strengthen, rebuild and lubricate the joints for a more complete joint health solution. Rather than use ingredients to block pain recep- tors or rely upon glucosamine and chon- droitin to treat the symptoms, its unique IMMUNODRIN formula attacks the source of the problem causing the pain, which in many cases is the inflammation. Product Highlights Synodrin Fast Acting Arthritis & Muscle Pain Relief Topical Gel is clinically proven to provide arthri- tis, muscle and joint pain relief, without the use of pain blocking ingredi- ents. Synodrin is the only product on the market to include both IMMUNODRIN and hyaluronic acid. Synodrin Triple Action Capsules will deliver more than 2,200 mg per serv- ing, clinically proven to offer relief in as little as seven days, and offers more than nine times the hyaluronic acid as other leading brands.
