Ticagrelor vs. Prasugrel for Heart Patients

<p>For over 20 years, Marley Drug has been a trusted local pharmacy serving the Winston-Salem community.  In 2021, we transformed this mom-and-pop shop into a national online platform.</p>

<h5><strong>What Prompted the Change? We wanted to Make a Difference </strong></h5>

<p>We’ve consistently seen our customers in distress because they couldn’t afford their medications, even with insurance, even for generic drugs. In many cases we were able to find an affordable option at the cash price. </p>

<p>Why is that? Insurance should improve medication access, not obstruct it. </p>

<p>This system is deeply flawed, and we want to help everyone in the country, not just in our neighborhood, access their medication. We're not just about lower costs; we're about empowering you to make informed decisions.</p>

<h3>Pharmacy Woes: A Look at the Current Model</h3>

<p>The current pharmacy model presents significant challenges for both customers and pharmacies themselves. Here are some of the most pressing issues:</p>

	<ul>
		<li style="margin-bottom:15px; line-height:1.6;">High Medication Costs</li>
		<li style="margin-bottom:15px; line-height:1.6;">Insurance Roadblocks (e.g. <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/are-prior-authorizations-good-for-patients" target="_blank">prior authorization</a>) </li>
		<li style="margin-bottom:15px; line-height:1.6;"><a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/news/end-of-an-era-big-chain-pharmacies-close-as-new-players-like-marley-drug-step-in" target="_blank">Pharmacy Closures</a>: The number of community pharmacies is declining, limiting access to essential healthcare services.</li>
		<li style="margin-bottom:15px; line-height:1.6;">Patient Education Gaps: Many patients lack a thorough understanding of their medications, including why they are taking them and potential side effects.</li>
		<li style="margin-bottom:15px; line-height:1.6;">Lack of Price Transparency: Out-of-pocket costs for medications can vary significantly and are often difficult to predict.</li>
		<li style="margin-bottom:15px; line-height:1.6;">Constant Plan Changes: Insurance plans frequently change, forcing patients to switch medications unnecessarily (known as <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/educate-yourself-on-non-medical-switching" target="_blank">non-medical switching</a>).</li>
		<li style="margin-bottom:15px; line-height:1.6;">Long Wait Times. Hard to talk to a person. </li>
		<li style="margin-bottom:15px; line-height:1.6;">Declining Customer Service</li>
	</ul>
	
	<p>At Marley Drug, we are constantly working to address these challenges and provide a better experience for our customers. We focus on customer needs in every business decision we make.</p>


<h3>How Marley Drug is Different</h3>
	
	<h5><strong>We Hired More Poeple</strong></h5>
	
	<p>We have more pharmacists and  technicians on the floor on each day than other pharmacies. This allows to:</p>
	
	<ul>
		<li style="line-height:1.6; margin-bottom:15px;">Provide Prompt Service: Minimize wait times and assist customers quickly.</li>
		<li style="line-height:1.6; margin-bottom:15px;">Offer Better Customer Care: Dedicate the time needed to understand each customer's  needs and concerns.</li>
	</ul>
	
	<p>This commitment to customer service excellence was recognized in 2023 when Marley Drug was awarded <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/news/marley-drug-wins-the-2023-excellence-in-customer-service-award" target="_blank">"2023 Excellence In Customer Service Award"</a>. </p>

    <p style="font-weight:600; color: #222; margin: 0;">
        Each person I've spoken to at Marly Drug was very kind, considerate and helpful in answering all questions I had. They processed my order quickly and I have a wonderful option of ordering a 6 month supply of my medication. They provide excellent service!!!

    <p style="font-weight:600; color: #222; margin: 0;">
        My physician recommended Marley Drug as a wonderful company. I called and placed an order with Terri who was most accommodating and knowledgeable. She explained everything and how to order by the month or year. She was very patient, kind and helpful. I would highly recommend this company and their prices are great.
