Successful physician dispensing typically focuses on the most commonly prescribed medications for a particular practice.  Nationally, the list below summarizes our practices’ most commonly dispensed products:

  1. Amoxicillin
  2. Hydrocodone w/APAP
  3. SMZ-TMP
  4. Penicillin
  5. Cephalexin
  6. Isoniazid
  7. Albuterol inhalers
  8. Ramipril
  9. Doxycycline Hyclate
  10.  Naproxen

Pharmaceutical dispensing programs at the clinic level typically provide treatments for acute symptoms using generic medications.   A starting practice might start with 10 medications and only purchase 5-10 bottles of each.  Some practices providing medication dispensing will offer 30-40 different products.  Because these medications are prepackaged, there may be 3 or 4 different pill counts for the same drug.
