Secondary Pharmacy Wholesaler and Distributor
Are you tired of feeling stuck? Stuck with one wholesaler, one pricing structure, and no room to move. It doesn’t have to be that way. Adding a secondary wholesaler gives you the freedom to buy smarter, lower your COGS, and stay competitive. At IPC, we built a warehouse designed for independent pharmacies like yours — because we believe you should have control over your future.
Why should I choose IPC as my secondary pharmacy wholesaler?
Our customers have shared the four things they like most about using IPC as a secondary wholesaler:
1
Access to both Brand and Generic Drugs
Our customers recognize the need to stay compliant with their primary wholesaler and balance that with finding competitive prices. Buying generics from IPC creates discounts on brands, with our Warehouse Edge program, and buying brands helps with compliance ratios. It’s a WIN-WIN.
