Apotheco Medicinals is a connected tech-enabled pharmacy platform for prescribing and fulfillment, founded in dermatology, created with prescribers, and built for what happens after the prescription is written.
Our focus has always been ensuring patients receive the therapy their prescriber intended, delivered through a fast, easy, and trusted experience. That foundation shapes everything we do: clinically grounded, technology-enabled, and aligned with how prescribers practice.
As we’ve expanded beyond dermatology into podiatry and additional therapeutic areas, our approach has remained consistent. We partner closely with prescribers, make access across therapy types easier, and deliver a connected experience patients and practices can rely on.
At the heart of everything we do is The 1 Promise™ – our commitment to stand alongside prescribers and ensure every patient receives their intended therapy. It’s our operational standard, our clinical mindset, and the expectation we set for every interaction.
We deliver on that promise through 1 Connected Experience™. It brings commercial prescriptions, personalized medications, and Rx-companion products together in a single, seamless system.
Commercial prescriptions, personalized medications, and Rx-companion products all in one place.
Send the Rx.
We handle the rest.
Order fulfilled within hours and on their way in a day.
Easier for prescribers, practice staff, patients, and pharma partners.
