(NASDAQ: MANH), announced that Alliance Boots plc, a leading international pharmacy-led health and beauty Group formed following the recent merger between Alliance UniChem Plc and Boots Group Plc, has implemented the Demand Forecasting and Replenishment components of Manhattan Associates' Integrated Planning Solutions, and achieved a remarkable return on investment (ROI) from the project.

The owner of a local pharmaceutical distribution company who was arrested two years ago for stealing from her customers has been arrested a second time, said Caddo Sheriff Steve Prator. Janice Lawrence, 62, of the 9000 block of Belmore Court, was booked into the Caddo Correctional Center on four counts of felony theft. Caddo Sheriffs Detective Bobby Herring said Lawrence, the owner of now-defunct USA Wholesale, recently completed a diversion program after being arrested in 2010 for similar crimes. While in diversion, detectives learned of several more pharmacies that had been defrauded by Lawrence between 2009 and 2010. Lawrence used bank information belonging to her customers to make unauthorized charges that profited her business. Her most recent arrest was for charging a total of $11,622 to the credit cards of four pharmacies for products that were never ordered or delivered. Those pharmacies were Turnage Drug Store in Mississippi, Lancaster Pharmacy in South Carolina, Adcocks Medicine Chest in Texas, and Whites Pharmacy in Alaska. Copyright 2012 KTBS.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - You shop for the best price on gas and on your home. What about your prescription drugs? Most don't because they believe generic drugs mean cheaper or that you only have to pay your standard co-pay with your insurance, right? Wrong. An I-Team 8 investigation is uncovering what big drug companies and some pharmacies don't want you to know. Amy Peak is a pharmacist and director of Drug Information Services and Academic Advising. She says even on the generics there is such a "huge, huge" difference on pricing. So huge, I-Team 8 launched an investigation to uncover a rare behind the scenes look inside the drug pricing of a multi-billion dollar industry. "Just because you are getting generic doesn't mean you are getting a good deal, Peak says. I-Team 8 compared drug prices by calling different pharmacies but also through the Red Book, the source known only to insiders of wholesale prices. Drugs are distributed through wholesalers to pharmacies, and then to you. For example, the generic version of Lamisil, used for toe fungus and often not covered by insurance, has a cost difference that was alarming. Big differences between the same drug at different pharmacies. One … Continue reading →

Chennai's oldest pharmacy, the first to sell insulin, continues its operations in its original location, says Anusha Parthasarathy Among the old businesses of George Town, some of which have a surreal quality, is a small shop opposite the towering domes of the High Court. Its air-conditioned interiors are a respite from the glowering heat and the wooden cupboards and shelves are bursting at their seams with stocked medicines. K.M. Siddique, up at front, is coping with a busy day at the oldest surviving pharmacy in the city: Smith Stocking and Co. Among the earliest pharmacies in the city were Spencer's, W. E. Smith and Co. (who came to Madras in 1868 and, in 1897, inaugurated the Kardyl Building, now known as the Bharath Insurance building), Allbutt and Co (which began operations in 1881) and Appah and Co (started in 1894 by Madras' First Family' in Black Town). None of these shops have survived. According to Southern India Its History, People, Commerce and Industrial Resources' by Somerset Playne, (1914), Smith Stocking and Co began operations in April 1913, as a partnership between W. Smith and R. Stocking, who both had about 20 years of experience as dispensing chemists and druggists. Siddique, … Continue reading →
