The indus
The industry leader in pharmacy point-of-sale innovation
The majority of patients will discard patient information leaflets after leaving the pharmacy,
creating the potential for confusion and misuse. When they do, there’s the possibility to
negatively impact their health, their family, and even the pharmacy’s operations.
MedsOnCue enables pharmacies to automatically print medication specific QR codes on the
receipt tape printed from RMS’ POS system. Patients can scan this code with their smart phones
and access real-time, pharmacy-branded prescription medication counseling videos. Videos that
deliver enhanced levels of medication safety and patient education.

DripDrop Hydration
Powder is a
Revolution in ORS
Developed by a Mayo Clinic
trained physician, DripDrop
replaces fluids and electrolytes
lost through illness, heat, or
exercise. As an ORS, DripDrop
can be used as an alternative to
IV therapy for most cases of mild
to moderate dehydration.
9 OUT OF 10
PHARMACISTS
APPROVE
A 2014 MD Analytics study found that 94% of pharmacists in the United States approved of
DripDrop as an efective Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS). An ORS, like DripDrop, is a proven ratio
of water, electrolytes, and sugars precisely formulated to quickly replace fuids and electrolytes
lost through dehydration.
Dehydration can be caused by heat, illness, allergies, prescription medicine, travel, and exercise.
DripDrop ensures your patients can stay fully hydrated, so helps to prevent and treat dehydration.
Take it from a fellow pharmacist.
• 2X the Electrolytes, and 1/2 the
Sugar of Sports Drinks.
• 25% More Electrolytes Than
Pediatric Solutions.
• Tastes Great Too!

Helmer - Providing
Premium Protection
for Hazardous Drugs
USP 800 will change the way
you store Hazardous Drugs.
Consider Helmer Scientific your
industry advisor when selecting
dedicated refrigerators for
hazardous storage.
page 19
TrueBlue.
Dedicated Storage of Hazardous Drugs
USP 800 states that refrigerated HDs must be stored in a
dedicated refrigerator in a negative pressure area with at
least 12 ACPH. As these requirements are created to protect
the patient, healthcare personnel, and the environment, it
is more important than ever to have confidence in your
pharmacy refrigerator.
x
Air-cooled, forced air circulation maintains superior
temperature uniformity and consistency which is key to
ensuring hazardous drugs are stored within the proper
range and that all storage space can be fully utilized.
x
Evaporator fans shut off during door openings to maintain
stable temperatures.
x
Dry storage environment and low humidity levels designed
for drug storage prevent medication label and packaging
degradation.
x
Stainless steel drawers provide spill containment while
locking drawers offer secure separation.
Focusing only on
medical-grade
refrigerated products
for over 35 years.
