Business Wire
Mednow Inc. (“Mednow'' or the “Company”) (TSXV:MNOW), Canada’s
on-demand virtual pharmacy, launched today in Winnipeg, to serve
Manitoba. This Canadian health tech company, founded by
pharmacists, offers unlimited virtual pharmacist consults, fast,
free medication delivery, and advanced technology to help address
medication non-adherence - a problem that can result in the
worsening of a patient’s condition, hospitalization or emergency
room visits.
“We’re thrilled to serve Manitobans from within Manitoba. This
launch is part of our plan to have a national presence across
Canada while also serving our patients from where they live. The
strategy to have a presence in each province we serve ensures we
are able to deliver on our promise of providing a higher level of
care, which we believe drives our growth,” said Karim Nassar, CEO,
Mednow.
Mednow is focused on improving delivery of pharmacy services in
Canada through digitization to provide better patient access to
healthcare professionals, and help prevent medication
non-adherence.
Mednow’s ~2,500 sq. ft. Winnipeg-based distribution centre and
frontline pharmacy is located at 584 St. Mary's Rd. and represents
a significant local investment. It is powered by the latest in
automated prescription fulfillment and dispensing technology. This
newest addition to Mednow’s growing national footprint enables free
same day prescription delivery in Winnipeg and many surrounding
suburban areas and free two day delivery in rural areas.
“We believe patients have the right to have the same high
expectations as consumers. Our goal is to provide better, faster,
quality service through the pharmacy of the future,” said
Nassar.
The pharmacy that runs to you
With the tap of an app, or a click in a browser, Mednow
patients, such as busy parents juggling multiple prescriptions,
caregivers, and seniors, can interact with pharmacists for things
like medical reviews, care plans and consultations, and order
prescribed and over-the-counter medications for fast, free
delivery. Patients can also easily view their full medication
history and receive automatic prescription refills.
Mednow’s PillSmart™ makes daily medications and supplements easy
to take and hard to forget. PillSmart safely packages medications
into easy to open individual packs, each printed with the contents,
date and time of the next dose. This ensures patients don’t forget
their important mediations and supplements and eliminates
accidental double-dosing. Mednow also offers Karie, an automatic
medication dispenser that organizes, schedules, and delivers
medication with the touch of a button.
