How do I make sure I'm complying with state and federal laws?

We are based in California and currently only service independent pharmacies within the state. While state law allows for pharmacy-to-pharmacy transfers, it is only permitted when purchasing for specific patient need. Be sure to write your patient’s name on your printed copy of the invoice and store for your records. Federal law allows the transfer of drugs, in an amount not to exceed 5 percent of the total annual sales, by a retail pharmacy to another retail pharmacy to alleviate a temporary shortage.

What is specific patient need?

Specific patient need is defined as the transfer of a product from one pharmacy to another to fill a prescription for an identified patient (section 581(19) of the FD&C Act). This term does not include the transfer of a product from one pharmacy to another for the purpose of increasing or replenishing stock in anticipation of a potential need.

How do pharmacies end up with overstock?

There are many reasons why a pharmacy may end up with medication they no longer need. Examples include: Pharmacists with customers who move. Pharmacists with medications that have recently lost their patent. Pharmacists with customers who have changed their prescription. Pharmacists with an overstock of prescription drugs. Pharmacists dealing with less than ideal manufacturer package sizes. Sellers are licensed neighborhood pharmacists from California who wish to minimize waste and see their prescription drugs end up in the hands of other independent pharmacists and their patients.

What fees are charged at the time of purchase?

Buyers are only responsible for shipping charges, if there are any.

What should I buy on the RxPost platform?

Buying from the platform allows you to purchase only what you need, rather than buying in bulk from your wholesaler. This significantly reduces your pharmacy’s overhead and helps other pharmacies put their overstocked inventory to better use.

What should I expect after placing my order?

Both you and the Seller will receive a confirmation email and receipt for your records. You will reach out to the Seller to coordinate pick up or delivery. We encourage pharmacies to use their own trusted drivers to expedite deliveries and save on shipping costs.

Why do I need to mark my order as received?

It is necessary for the pharmacist receiving the package to verify its contents so we can ensure best practices are being maintained and to remain compliant with State and Federal law. We suggest keeping a signed copy of the receipt for your records.

What if I can't find something?

Easy! Reach out to us and our team members will reach out to our network to help you find what you’re looking for. No need for your staff to be calling around town, we’re more than happy to help.

Why are my shipping options?

We utilize multiple carriers to offer you the most cost efficient or time efficient method of shipping based on your needs. Please note that refrigerated and frozen items are required to be shipped overnight. If you decide the Seller is close enough, you can save money and waive shipping by opting to pick up the item yourself.

Who sets the pricing?

You set the price point, and pharmacies typically set it at their acquisition cost. We discourage price gouging or wholesaling activities on the platform, and reserve the right to suspend or deactivate accounts if we find Users to be in violation of our Terms of Service.

What should I include when packaging the order?

When possible, dispense the item in its original manufacturer bottle with name, strength, dosage form, NDC, expiration date, and lot number. If the original manufacturer bottle is damaged or not available, you must label the product following the same guidelines. After you confirm the correct product has been packaged, mark the order as shipped to digitally sign the receipt for your records.

How quickly will I get paid?

You can expect to receive your funds within 3 days. This allows the Seller time to review the items received.

Is it legal to sell to other pharmacies?

In accordance with California State Law: 4119.5. Transfer or Repackaging Dangerous Drugs by Pharmacy (a) A pharmacy can transfer a reasonable supply of dangerous drugs to another pharmacy. (b) A pharmacy may repackage and furnish to a prescriber a reasonable quantity of dangerous drugs and dangerous devices for prescriber office use. And in accordance with Federal Law: Section 582(d)(1)(A)(ii) of the FD&C Act states that “a dispenser . . . prior to, or at the time of, each transaction in which the dispenser transfers ownership of a product (but not including dispensing to a patient or returns) shall provide the subsequent owner with transaction history, transaction information, and a transaction statement for the product, except that the requirements of this clause shall not apply to sales by a dispenser to another dispenser to fulfill a specific patient need.” Section 581(19) of the FD&C Act defines “specific patient need” as the transfer of a product from one pharmacy to another to fill a prescription for an identified patient. Section 581(19) further states that this term does not include the transfer of a product from one pharmacy to another for the purpose of increasing or replenishing stock in anticipation of a potential need.
