Investing in better pharmacy solutions Community pharmacy is continually evolving. Alongside delivering expert patient care, pharmacy teams are managing increasing operational pressures, changing regulations and growing expectations around service delivery. Having the right tools and supply partners in place has never been more important.
At United Drug, we are committed to helping pharmacies meet these challenges by continually improving the services and solutions available through Pharmax. Guided by member feedback, we continue to invest in the platform to make ordering simpler, improve access to products and support more efficient day-to-day operations.
Expanded access to the Elements EMP portfolio
The latest enhancement sees the full Elements EMP portfolio now available to order directly through Pharmax.
This expansion gives members access to the complete Elements EMP range through the Pharmax platform, allowing pharmacies to order through their preferred wholesaler while benefiting from greater flexibility and a broader choice of products.
By bringing more of the products pharmacies rely on into one familiar ordering platform, purchasing becomes simpler and more efficient, helping to reduce administration and save valuable time.
Access to the full portfolio also provides improved availability and greater overall value across EMP purchasing. Whether sourcing products for routine requirements or responding to more specialised patient needs, pharmacies can order with confidence through a platform designed to support the realities of a busy dispensary.
Confidence through compliance
Maintaining a secure and compliant supply chain remains a key priority. Pharmax continues to operate in full alignment with HPRA guidance, with no further brokering of Non-EEA products. This provides members with the reassurance that their procurement processes continue to meet the highest regulatory standards while ensuring consistent access to essential products.
Building on continuous improvement
This latest development builds on the continued evolution of the Pharmax platform. Over the past year, members have benefited from significant enhancements, including the integration of the full United Drug Wholesale portfolio, giving pharmacies access to thousands of additional product lines through a single ordering platform. Combined with Profitlines Plus, pharmacies can now source both dispensary and front of shop products more efficiently, helping to simplify ordering across their business.
Alongside an expanded product range, practical features such as dedicated order baskets, Wishlist functionality and next day delivery have been designed to make everyday purchasing quicker and more convenient. While each enhancement may seem incremental, together they contribute to a more streamlined ordering experience that supports busy pharmacy teams.
Supporting pharmacy today and tomorrow
At United Drug, we recognise that the needs of community pharmacy continue to change. That is why we remain focused on listening to our customers, strengthening our partnerships and investing in solutions that deliver practical value.
Every improvement to Pharmax is made with one goal in mind: Helping pharmacies spend less time managing procurement and more time supporting the health and wellbeing of their patients.
