VeganMed is excited to partner with Debbie’s Family Pharmacy to enhance access to animal-free medications and boost awareness about Alpha-gal Syndrome.
VeganMed is thrilled to announce its new collaboration with Debbie's Family Pharmacy, a trusted independent pharmacy in Rogers, Arkansas. This partnership aims to increase accessibility to animal-free medications and spread crucial awareness and education about Alpha-gal Syndrome (AGS).
Corrie Newman, Compounding Director/Technician at Debbie’s Family Pharmacy, noted, "VeganMed has greatly enhanced our ability to assist patients with Alpha-gal syndrome by ensuring their medications are free from mammal derivatives. Their diligent research allows us to focus on patient care. They efficiently gather and compile necessary details from drug companies, allowing us to determine which brands we can order or if we need to compound a safe version in our pharmacy. Thanks to VeganMed as part of our team approach, we can confidently offer safe medication options for our Alpha-gal patients."
Through this collaboration, VeganMed and Debbie's Family Pharmacy will work together to ensure that patients have greater access to medications that align with their values and health needs. Additionally, they will focus on educating the community about AGS, a condition that requires careful management of dietary and medication choices to avoid animal-derived products.
"When we began to learn how to best serve the Alpha Gal patients in our area, VeganMed quickly became an invaluable resource for our team. It's clear that VeganMed shares our commitment to excellent patient care and we are thrilled to collaborate with them more closely to serve our Alpha Gal community. Our mission at Debbie's Family Pharmacy is to care about our patients' health as much as they do, and now we have a strong advocate helping us achieve this goal each day." Andrew Mize, PharmD, Owner, Debbie’s Family Pharmacy
This partnership represents a significant step towards providing comprehensive support and education to patients in our community.
