CEO of leading pharmacy plan developer and
administrator
applauds increased awareness of prescription
medicine abuse
as a welcome approach to prescription
medicine safety
Windsor, ON (Special)—G.Anthony Howard, the
president and CEO of CanaRx Services, Inc.,
a leading pharmacy plan developer and
administrator has hailed the increased
awareness in the U.S. of prescription
medicine abuse as a beneficial development
that will contribute to improved safety in
the ordering and disbursement of
prescription medicines.
“That is why we applaud all those local,
state and Federal agencies that are working
to identify and punish ‘bogus’ pharmacies
and others who illegally disburse
prescription medicines,” Howard says.
“The
role of prescription medicines in enhancing
and protecting the public health cannot be
denied when they are used for the purpose
for which they were designed, and disbursed
under the highest professional standards of
safety and efficacy.
“By identifying those sources whose
practices make prescription medicine abuse
possible, we are confident that the
increased public awareness will help resolve
such abuse.”
Howard says that CanaRx works with more than
100 local governments in the U.S. to provide
access to safe, affordable prescription
medicines through voluntary plans for
employees and retirees of the participating
governmental bodies.
“CanaRx has always applied the highest
standards and strongest procedures of
oversight to guarantee not only the safety
and efficacy of medicines distributed in
plans with which we work, but to make sure
to the greatest extent possible that there
is no opportunity for abuse or the medicines
being obtained being used for purposes other
than their intended legitimate medical
reasons,” Howard continues.
“CanaRx welcomes such increased awareness.
We also view it as an opportunity to further
explain our commitment to safety and
efficacy, a commitment that has enabled us
to establish a record of practicing the
highest standards of safety and healthcare
professionalism,” Howard concludes.
