The problem
Right now, another pharmacy
has the same brand medication
you’re paying full price for.
When your wholesaler is out of a brand medication, or its price is too high, you start calling other pharmacies to find it. That takes time you don’t have, and even when someone has it, you don’t get the transaction records you’re required to keep.
Meanwhile, every pharmacy, yours included, has brand medication on the shelf that it won’t dispense before it expires. Here’s what usually happens to that medication:
You try to return it to your wholesaler. That’s always the right first move, if the return window is still open.
If you can’t return it, it sits on the shelf, sometimes for up to three years, tying up cash and space.
In the end, a reverse distributor takes it for a fraction of what you paid, and the medication is destroyed.

other pharmacies, with
the paperwork included.
InStockRx is a marketplace where pharmacies trade brand medication directly with each other. There are no wholesalers or brokers in the middle.

FAQ
Questions pharmacies ask us
Is buying from another pharmacy legitimate?
InStockRx is a pharmacy-to-pharmacy marketplace, not a wholesaler or reverse distributor. Every pharmacy’s state license and DEA registration are verified before its first trade, and every trade carries DSCSA transaction records.
What does it cost?
It’s free to join, and there are no fees to buy. Sellers pay 10% when a listing sells to another pharmacy. Moving stock between your own stores is free.
Where does the medication come from?
It comes from another pharmacy on the platform, and you can see exactly which pharmacy you’re buying from before you buy. Certified listings also show the original wholesaler invoice or a DSCSA EPCIS transaction history file.
Should I stop returning stock to my wholesaler?
No. Your wholesaler return should always come first. InStockRx is the second move, before stock sits on your shelf or goes to a reverse distributor.
Can I buy or sell controlled substances?
No. Controlled substances aren’t traded on InStockRx.
Does this help with DSCSA?
When you buy from or sell to another pharmacy to restock, DSCSA applies. Every trade records the transaction information and transaction statement, kept in your account for seven years, a year longer than DSCSA’s six. Your pharmacy keeps its own DSCSA responsibilities.
Do I need to install anything?
No. There’s nothing to install or integrate to get started. You search and list by drug name, and your Account Manager helps you get set up.
What if the medication I need isn’t listed?
It’s one more place to look before you tell a patient no. Your Account Manager can also help you track it down.
Still have a question?
