WeManageMeds is a FREE service Specialty Pharmacy Services offers to patients that want to take control of their healthcare. Rather than you contacting your doctors and pharmacists for refills, sorting and organizing monthly pill boxes, and contacting your insurance for coverage and benefits, WeManageMeds does all that for you! Our licensed professional pharmacists and staff review, discuss, customize, synchronize, and strip all your medications for the entire month into one RxSTRIP of individual dose packs to ensure you take all the medication as prescribed. This approach has proven effective in reducing medication errors and subsequently reducing emergency room visits and hospitalizations.

WeManageMeds simplifies taking multiple medications by organizing them the way patients take them. Rather than receiving multiple pill bottles each month that you then have to sort and organize into pill boxes, WeManageMeds does all that for you! Our professionally licensed staff strip medications into individual dose packs containing all of your medications scheduled to be taken at a particular date and time. The dose packs are connected into one RxSTRIP for the entire month. Simply tear off a package and go! RxSTRIP dose packs are easy to open and clearly labeled with patient and drug information so you know you’re taking the right medication at the right time. This process helps to increase medication adherence and reduces ER visits due to medication misadventures as well as reducing hospital admissions.
