First ScriptSM automatic shipment program gives pharmacies immediate access to newly released generic pharmaceutical products. First ScriptSM customers receive new releases as soon as the FDA approves the product and it's available in Cardinal Health pharmaceutical distribution centers, enabling them to be first in their communities to offer the product to customers.

First ScriptSM benefits pharmacies by providing:

  • Increased profitability and gross margin
  • Automatic distribution
  • New item notification forms delivered to pharmacies prior to product being received
  • Products that are available when patients need them
  • No lost sales because items are not stocked
  • 180 days to return unused and unopened products
GENERIC PHARMACEUTICALS
  • 15-day supply of new generics customized on your purchase history of the brand equivalent 60 days prior to the generic's release.*
  • 60 days of dating on generics.
  • 60 days of price protection to insulate you through potential market volatility following a generic launch.
  • Hypothetical reimbursement models to help gauge pharmacy profitability.
  • 180 days to return unused and unopened product.

*While 15 days of brand usage is the targeted quantity of product for each generic First ScriptSM, adjustments may be necessary when an adequate supply of product is not available due to certain market, supplier and/or reimbursement conditions. First ScriptSM auto-shipments will also never exceed 15 units of any single drug.
