Medi-Span Vet Meds: Confidence, consistency, and scalability for veterinary prescriptions

Pets are like family, and retail pharmacy customers expect the same level of diligence for their pets’ medications as they do for their own care.

Medi-Span Vet Meds helps you meet that expectation consistently with veterinary-specific medication intelligence that fits seamlessly into existing pharmacy workflows — delivering appropriate guidance without increasing fill time or operational burden.

Frequently asked questions about Medi-Span Vet Meds

  • Why isn’t my current drug data solution enough to manage veterinary medications?

    Studies show that 88% of handwritten and 66% of verbal vet prescriptions are missing critical information – creating risk at the point of dispensing.1 Considering that only a staggering 64 out of 18,000 veterinarians are certified in clinical pharmacology,2 pharmacists have a significant opportunity to become the critical fail-safe needed to help reduce errors and enhance quality outcomes for pets.

    Human-centric data and screening tools are not built with guardrails to identify serious adverse drug events and other risks to animals. Nor are they built to understand species- or weight-related dosing as it applies to pets. According to research, 33% of veterinarians have reported dispensing errors when pet medications are managed at community pharmacies.3 Vet Meds solutions help you dispense responsibly with evidence-based knowledge specifically for animal physiology and pet-related needs.

  • Will adding data and/or screening capabilities from Medi-Span Vet Meds interrupt our workflow?

    No. Medi-Span Vet Meds solutions are embedded into existing pharmacy workflows at the point of dispensing, making it easier for pharmacy teams to make decisions without interrupting usual processes. As pharmacies continue to expand their vet meds business, adopting a drug screening solution that is embedded directly within their dispensing system will help them extend the same safety checks to pets that they perform for humans without disrupting workflow.

  • Do I have to be a current Medi-Span customer or use other Medi-Span files to integrate Medi-Span Vet Meds?

    No. Both the Medi-Span Vet Meds database and screening API are compendia-agnostic, meaning they can easily integrate into leading retail pharmacy workflow systems.

  • How do I integrate Medi-Span Vet Meds solutions?

    The Medi-Span Vet Meds drug database is a flat data file that allows your teams to control data architecture.

    Medi-Span Vet Meds screening is delivered through a modern API that optimizes the content to support screening algorithms and rules to help simplify development.

    Medi-Span implementation services include support teams composed of both engineers and pharmacists to support your specific integration needs. Services include project plans as well as installer tools and sample code to help streamline and speed development.
