RonanRx vs traditional compounding pharmacies
Operationalized, not just a fulfillment counter.
Both are 503A. The difference is what happens around the prescription: intake, records, refill continuity, the doctor's experience, and the patient's experience.
| Question | RonanRx | Traditional compounding pharmacy |
|---|---|---|
| When does work start? | Before the prescription arrives — intake and records. | When the prescription arrives. |
| Patient intake? | Structured, doctor-paced. | Often whatever the doctor sends over. |
| Records and labs coordination? | Yes, when the program calls for it. | Usually no. Each clinic handles their own. |
| Refill continuity? | Doctor-paced refill prompts and follow-up signals. | Driven by the prescription's refills field. |
| White-label patient experience? | Available for partner clinics. | Rare. |
| Pharmacist review and release? | Yes — independent release authority on every prescription. | Yes. (Required by 503A.) |
