Our Company's Purpose

We believe in our company's purpose which is "Making a positive difference in people's lives". Because everyone in our organization understands this purpose it unifies us in all we do keeping us pointed in the right direction.

Like most healthcare professionals, we are in this business because we want to help other people. Our team collectively uses their unique skills that they have developed in the pharmacy world to make that positive difference in people's lives.  

For our team to see the positive difference they are making, we need to have ways to measure it. Not only does this result in our patients seeing a significant difference between our pharmacy and other pharmacies they have used, but it refuels the gas tanks of our team members. Everything we do, in some way, points towards the ultimate purpose we have as an organization: The purpose of making a positive difference in people’s lives.

Triple rosacea cream contains 3 active pharmaceutical ingredients: azelaic acid, which has antioxidant and anti-microbial properties, ivermectin, a topical anti-parasitic that decreases inflammation, and metronidazole, a topical antibiotic, with anti-inflammatory properties. Providers often prescribe these three medications together to reduce the inflammatory lesions and redness associated with rosacea. 

A patient waiting over a week for a medication change that they need is unacceptable. Patients shouldn't have to worry about whether or not their medication will arrive on time. This is where provider protocols can make a positive difference in patient medication changes.

 claRx Big Country Dermatology Pharmacy prioritizes provider relationships. We utilize a pharmacy liaison to build trusting relationships between us and the dermatology clinics. Our purpose is to make a positive difference in people's lives, and the best way to do that is by seeing people for whom they are and developing long-term and meaningful relationships with them. 

Compounding medications is an encompassing process, allowing pharmacists to combine, or mix various ingredients to create medications not available by manufacturers.  Similar to baking a cake, many pharmacies may use the same ingredients to create a compound with the same intended end result, and yet you will find vastly different qualities of cake from different bakers. The same holds true for compounds from different pharmacies.  

Accutane is the go-to-solution for people who are dealing with severe acne when other forms of acne treatment don’t work. It is extremely effective at treating severe acne, however patients do have to be aware of the potential side-effects associated with using it. These concerns are fueled by certain studies linking its use to many possible side effects including depression and organ damage.

Providers, pharmacies, and patients all have a part to play in the iPledge program if the patient is going to take Accutane. We break this down into 3 parts and how we improve outcomes in each one.

Every patient should have the opportunity to use a pharmacy that is an expert in their field of medicine. At claRx Big Country Dermatology Pharmacy, we are experts in dermatology pharmacy and focus on providing the best experience possible for patients and providers. This results in saving patients money and saving providers time. 

Paying for medication at a pharmacy is a more complicated process than what meets the eye. The cost varies due to the medication and whether the patient is insured or not along with how the insurance company covers the specific medication. To help simplify it, we have broken down what an insured patient may pay for  medication into a few categories, and also establish how an insurance company typically determines the price for the medication in the first place. 

Here at claRx Big Country Dermatology pharmacy, we work in a symbiotic relationship with the manufacturers that make many of the medications we dispense. We do this by participating in their rebate programs, which are designed to reduce the out of pocket cost to patients on specific medications. Manufacturer rebates are not available for all medications, and they do not help every patient. We believe it is our duty in the dermatology industry to do the most good for most people, which means, when these programs are available for a specific patient, we utilize them.
