Right Way to

Right Medication

At the Right Time In the Right Quantity

Let's get Acquainted

Pharmaneek Pharmacy is registered with state of Indiana since Sep. 12th, 2011, and is one of the fastest growing and most patient compliant pharmacies in Indiana.

Our most important goal is

“To provide the right medicine to the right person at the right time and in the right quantity”

Healthcare costs caused by mis-managed and non-adherence use of medicines exceeded $200 billion in 2012, according to IMS, Institute for Healthcare Informatics estimates. This amount is equal to 8% of the nation’s healthcare spending that year.

What are the causes for this wasteful spending in the U.S. healthcare system? Proper Drug-Drug Interaction Medication errors In-effective communication between patient, pharmacist and doctor Medical Non-Compliance

Problems with Current System

Reasons for Medical Non-adherence Forgetting to take their prescription on time. To compensate the missed dose they double the dose when they take it next time. Cannot buy Rx because they do not have available funds to make the payment for the co-pay. Expensive drugs are stolen by relatives or other people. Spill the meds from the bottles, and if they get mixed up with other drugs, they do not know which one is which, if the drugs look alike. They are experiencing pain or itching or other symptoms of drug reaction, but the pharmacy never ran Drug-Drug interaction. Can’t pick up the meds from the pharmacy due to non-transportation or bad weather which leaves them without necessary medication. Problem with opening the vials.

Problems due to Patient Behavior

The failure to take drugs on time in the dosages prescribed, is as costly as many illnesses In a recent poll of U.S. individuals 65 years old and older who use medications, researches found that : • 51% take at least seven different prescription drugs regularly, and one in four take between 10 and 19 pills each day. • 57% of those polled admit that they forget to take their medications. • Among those using seven or more medications, 63% say they forget doses, compared to 51% among those who take fewer medicines.

The reasons behind this failure are varied; ranging from simple forgetfulness to confusion to ambivalence, but the problem costs billion of dollars in emergency-room visits and other avoidable medical expenses in the US.

Responsible use of medicines can eliminate at least $213 billion in avoidable costs by addressing key areas.

Avoidable Healthcare Costs

Causes for Avoidable

Healthcare Costs Medication non-adherence

This occurs when patients do not take their medicines appropriately or at all. Delayed evidenced-based treatment practice

This occurs when medicines are not delivered to patients at a time that would be most valuable in terms of health outcome and cost effectiveness.

Misuse of antibiotic This occurs due to misdiagnosis or inappropriate decisions by prescribers and dispensers to provide patients with antibiotics.

Medication errors These occur across four processes—prescribing, preparation/dispensing, administration, and monitoring—and often result in costly complications.

Suboptimal use of generics This occurs if there is an unexploited opportunity for greater use of safe, less costly generics in the market once patented drugs have lost their legal protection. The opportunity varies by therapy class.

Mismanaged poly-pharmacy This occurs when healthcare professionals do not, or cannot, adequately oversee patients who take multiple medicines concurrently.

Harmful Drug to Drug Interaction This occurs when the effect of a particular drug is altered when it is taken with another drug, or with food.

Affect on ACOs
