Managing the pain associated with numerous diseases is a challenge – both for the people who live with the pain and for the physicians who treat them. Having a trusted pharmaceutical expert who can provide prescribed specialty medications in an efficient manner can mean the difference between finding relief sooner rather than later. In 2005, QVL Pharmacy was created as a solution to what we saw as significantly unmet needs of patients and physicians working with a primary or secondary diagnosis of pain. Since then, our unique approach and services have expanded into other diagnoses requiring medications that may be hard-to-find, including an expertise in scheduled (controlled) medications. QVL Pharmacy works to meet the unique needs of these patients and their physicians by combining significant expertise in pharmacy care with the latest in technology — and delivering it all with a personal, respectful touch.
