Home Infusion and Specialty Pharmacy in Puerto Rico
Free delivery to the patient’s door, skilled nurses from accredited nursing agencies, and pharmacists on call 24 hours a day.
MedRx Infusion is a home infusion and specialty pharmacy licensed in California and accredited by URAC and ACHC. Under Puerto Rico’s Pharmacy Act (Act 247 of 2004), a pharmacy licensed on the U.S. mainland needs no separate license to ship prescription medications to patients in Puerto Rico. MedRx dispenses infusion and specialty medications to patients’ homes across Puerto Rico, including the San Juan, Ponce, Aguadilla and Mayagüez areas, and sends a skilled, licensed nurse from an accredited nursing agency when a therapy requires one.
