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.

Therapies MedRx provides in Puerto Rico

  • Rheumatology infusions. Infused biologics such as Orencia (abatacept) for rheumatoid arthritis and Benlysta (belimumab) for lupus.
  • Rare disease medications. Medications for rare conditions, such as Soliris (eculizumab) for paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), and Tepezza (teprotumumab-trbw) for thyroid eye disease.
  • Osteoporosis treatment. Medications such as Prolia (denosumab) for osteoporosis and Evenity (romosozumab-aqqg) for osteoporosis after menopause.
  • IV antibiotics at home. Outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) for serious infections such as osteomyelitis and cellulitis, with care of the PICC line, so IV treatment continues at home rather than in the hospital.
