Pharmaceuticals (RX)
The pharmaceutical division was established in the 1950’s with a focus on distributing pharmaceutical products in the Island. In 1999, the business transitioned into a full-line drug wholesaling division which currently sells thousands of SKUs; both exclusively and non-exclusively; to an extensive network of retail drugstores, specialty pharmacies, hospitals (federal and state), clinical laboratories, medical offices, and governmental health agencies. We sell and distribute pharmaceutical, specialty, and animal health products, including controlled substances, to over 1,100 clients throughout the island.
In recent years, we have added biological and other targeted product offerings through our specialty division, which caters to physicians who are licensed to deliver treatment at their facilities, as well as hospitals and specialty pharmacies. In addition to rheumatology, pediatric, and nephrology treatments, we possess the necessary technology and tools to deliver other specialty products, such as vaccines, plasma, and oncology treatment medications, which facilitate access to end-users.
