How Pharmaceutical Deliveries Work

Published: March 18, 2022

As the population is living longer, one of the most important services is delivery – specifically the delivery of medicine and medical supplies. Pharmaceutical deliveries can include things such as prescriptions, medical supplies, or over-the-counter medicines to and from pharmacies, hospitals, hospices, or even to residential homes.  In this blog, we’re going to talk about how pharmaceutical deliveries work.

Types of Pharmaceutical Deliveries

Home/Hospice Delivery

Home delivery is when a pharmacy delivers medications to a patient’s home. Typically, the patient or the patient’s doctor contacts the pharmacy with their prescription order and the pharmacy then uses a courier service to have the medication delivered to a residence or hospice. 

Hospital Delivery

Hospital delivery is the second pharmaceutical delivery type. When hospitals send pharmaceuticals to other healthcare facilities such as pharmacies or clinics, they are done by a courier service.

The Cost of Pharmaceutical Deliveries

The cost of pharmaceutical deliveries, much like other deliveries, varies depending on the distance between the sender and receiver and how quickly the delivery is needed.

Distance is straightforward. What changes the cost is how quickly the delivery is needed. The most common are:

  • Same-day
  • Next-day
  • STAT
  • After Hours

Select Delivery Systems does same day Calgary delivery services in the following time frames:

  • 4 hours
  • 2 hours
  • 1 hour
  • Door-to-door service

Security of Pharmaceutical Deliveries

Who is picking up your medicine and how do you know they are trustworthy? Delivery companies in Alberta require delivery drivers to be thoroughly screened and have no criminal record to be able to operate as a courier. If pharmaceuticals are involved, signatures are mandatory with pick up and drop off to ensure pharmaceuticals are being delivered with absolute security.
