’s solutions have a sophisticated integration with over 60 pharmacy management systems. For nearly two decades, thousands of pharmacies have enjoyed new levels of efficiency and customer satisfaction that our IVR technology and communication services provide. Additionally, it’s ’s goal to help pharmacies improve their bottom-line by offering user friendly technology that makes it convenient for customers to do business with the pharmacy and by automatically handling routine tasks for the staff. Equally as important, services can proactively communicate with pharmacy customers to help keep them compliant with their medication. fusion technology services are available in any combination to meet specific pharmacy needs and budget. ExpressCall-Rx™ delivers a positive impact on patient compliance while at the same time drives business into the pharmacy. This cutting edge service provides automated outbound calls to patients for any one of many reasons i.e. refill reminder / compliance calls, will-call reminders, clinic announcements, thank you for your business message and more. Available call reports provide proof of the success! MobilLink-Rx Available early 2011, initially will provide automated text messaging to notify patients when their Rx is ready for pickup or a reminder after several days. Additional MobileLink-Rx functionalities available in 2011 are refill reminders, health alerts and promotional messages.

Attendant-Rx™ is for those pharmacies that want to provide customers and doctors with the convenience of an automated attendant answering system, giving callers a full menu of options such as; listen to store location and hours or promotions, place a refill (Tele-Fill module required), transfer to different departments, give specific doctor options and much more. Free up your pharmacy staff to help more customers today! Tele-Fill® provides convenience to pharmacy customers and relief for the staff. Using the key pad on their telephone, callers can place prescription refill orders - anytime day or night. Tele-Fill verifies the prescription number and refill availability. The caller hears a friendly confirmation that their order has been submitted. This module can be used whether is answering the pharmacy’s main telephone number (Attendant-Rx required) or patients are calling a separate number as a refill hotline. FusionFax-Rx™ automatically faxes an authorization form to the doctor’s office when a prescription has no refills remaining, has expired or it’s too soon for a refill. That’s another call that you or your staff doesn’t have to make! Works with Tele-Fill, Quick Link, WebFill-Rx, Rx-Direct, Refill Assistant.

WebFill-Rx™ maximizes your pharmacy’s online presence with ’s integrated refill webpage. Online requests are submitted to the pharmacy system work queue and the patient receives a confirmation email within minutes. If Doctor authorization is needed, an authorization fax can automatically be sent - day or night. (Maintenance fees apply) DirectLink-Rx™ automates the refill ordering process from any long-term nurse or other facility staff member to, 24 x 7, place multiple prescription refills / reorders and within minutes receive a faxback confirming each prescription number has been submitted to the pharmacy’s work

queue. This low cost integrated solution provides convenience and accountability for both the LTC facility and pharmacy staff members. Quick-Link® streamlines the pharmacy work process by giving all staff members, whether technician or cashier, a fast and easy way to handle refill requests. Using Quick-Link’s touch screen, refill orders from walk in, drive thru or customers calling on the phone, can be securely submitted directly to the pharmacy system work queue. As one of our pharmacists said: “It’s a step saver, now we don’t run around looking for an available terminal. It works great at both my front cash and drive-up”. Refill Assistant® increases customer satisfaction by offering an alternative to waiting in line to place a refill order. With this self-service touch-screen, customers enter their prescription number and then see a verification message that their order has been submitted to the pharmacy. Refill Assistant can be placed anywhere in the pharmacy or any remote location that is connected to the pharmacy’s network.

INTRODUCING THE NEW FILLMASTER PLUSDISPENSE & FLAVOR FASTER THAN EVER BEFORE

ATTRACT NEW CUSTOMERSIf there’s one market that’s always full of new potential, it’s pediatrics. Successful pharmacies use the flavoring service to bring in new customers and capture an entire family’s prescription business. It’s a great reason for new people to visit your pharmacy.

GROW THE BOTTOM LINEOur top performing pharmacies charge $3 for flavor-ing. They understand the value of the service and their time. In addition to the script and flavoring fee, you can expect increased OTC and front-store sales.

GAIN EFFICIENCYThe Fillmaster PLUS saves valuable time in your everyday workflow, freeing you up to do the things that will keep your business thriving. On average, you’ll save 3 to 4 minutes per prescription.

REWARD YOUR EMPLOYEESAn investment in technology like the Fillmaster PLUS demonstrates to your team that you’re com-mitted to making their jobs easier. Flavoring is also a “technician friendly” service. With your approval, they will run with the program and have fun in the process.

CUT COSTSBar code scanning saves time, reduces errors and cuts down on waste. It also confirms you’ve used the appropriate amount of water for reconstitution, reducing the risk of half-fills.

INCREASE COMPLIANCEWhen a child gets to choose the flavor of her medi-cation, compliance rates go up dramatically. This holds true for both acute and chronic conditions. With the Fillmaster PLUS, you can even recommend best flavors to a parent, specific to the medication prescribed.

IMPROVE CUSTOMER SERVICEThe ability to dispense and flavor faster means wait times are reduced. Couple that with going above and beyond to make a child’s medicine taste better, and you’ve just created a “Wow!” experience for that parent. They’ll stick with you for life.

“The Fillmaster PLUS makes reconstitution

and flavoring much easier and more accurate.

We don’t hesitate to offer flavoring now

because it’s so much faster. It has even helped

us bring in new customers.”

-Mark W. RPh, Foster Drug

If you fill around 100 prescriptions a day SmartCallSR can save you and your staff more than10 hours a week talking on the telephone. You can decide the best way to convert the time you save into real dollars. Anyway you look at it, you will be able to do more once your SmartCallSR IVR is up and running.

SmartCallSR is hands down the least expensive IVR system you can own and operate. Our current pricing is the lowest offered to independent pharmacies. This system was designed from the ground up to take advantage of the newest technologies that save money now and over the life of the system.

SmartCallSR is available 24 hours a day. When it is most convenient for them, your patients can request prescription refills, check the status of their orders, or access other information like store hours or location. Most Pharmacies using SmartCallSR find patients leave more than 10% of their prescription refill requests outside of normal operating hours.

Physicians can leave new prescription requests and refill authorizations or; if they wish, can be connected directly to the pharmacist. With SmartCallSR Viewer, our intuitive, graphical, message-management tool, staff members can hear and process both physician and patient messages. When asked; most physicians indicated a preference to leave prescription information as a recorded message.

SmartCallSR provides more advanced features than any other IVR system offered to independent pharmacies. For example, SmartCallSR lets callers choose either Speech Recognition technology or button-presses to navigate the simple system menus. Optionally, callers can hear menu choices in Spanish. Patients can choose to speak to you directly or use SmartCallSR to order refills or find the status of previously ordered prescriptions. With SmartCallSR you won’t worry about alienating patients who demand a personal touch. Elderly or other callers who prefer not to use an automated system can be added to the exclusive SmartCallSR bypass list so their calls are directed straight to the pharmacy without them having to listen to, and then navigate menus.

Smart Solutions designed SmartCallSR to be the most cost effective pharmacy IVR system ever

Receive Special PPSC

Member Pricing! Earn additional rebates as well!

Over the last decade patients and their expectations have evolved. Studies show many patients now expect their pharmacy to provide the convenience of automated refill ordering.

SafetyInformationThe safety and effectiveness of topical calcipotriene in dermatoses other than psoriasis have not been established. Calcipotriene is contraindicated in those patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any of the components of the preparation. It should not be used by patients with demonstrated hypercalcemia or evidence of vitamin D toxicity. Calcipotriene should not be used on the face. Use of calcipotriene may cause irritation of lesions and surrounding uninvolved skin. If irritation develops, calcipotriene should be discontinued. In controlled clinical trials, the most frequent adverse reactions reported for calcipotriene were burning, itching and skin irritation.

significant changes in tumor incidence were observed when compared to control.In a study in which albino hairless mice were exposed to both UVR and topicallyapplied calcipotriene, a reduction in the time required for UVR to indicate theformation of skin tumors was observed (statistically significant in males only),suggesting that calcipotriene may enhance the effect of UVR to induce skintumors. Patients that apply calcipotriene to exposed portions of the body shouldavoid excessive exposure to either natural or artificial sunlight (including tanningbooths, sun lamps, etc.). Physicians may wish to limit or avoid use ofphototherapy in patients that use calcipotriene.Calcipotriene did not elicit any mutagenic effects in an Ames mutagenicity assay,a mouse lymphoma TK locus assay, a human lymphocyte chromosome aberrationassay, or in a micronucleus assay conducted in mice.Studies in rats at doses up to 54 µg/kg/day (324 µg/m2/day) of calcipotrieneindicated no impairment of fertility or general reproductive performance.

PregnancyTeratogenic Effects: Pregnancy Category CStudies of teratogenicity were done by the oral route where bioavailability isexpected to be approximately 40-60% of the administered dose. In rabbits,increased maternal and fetal toxicity were noted at a dosage of 12 µg/kg/day(132 µg/m2/day); a dosage of 36 µg/kg/day (396 µg/m2/day) resulted in asignificant increase in the incidence of incomplete ossification of the pubic bonesand forelimb phalanges of fetuses. In a rat study, a dosage of 54 µg/kg/day (318µg/m2/day) resulted in a significantly increased incidence of skeletal abnormalities(enlarged fontanelles and extra ribs). The enlarged fontanelles are most likelydue to calcipotriene’s effect upon calcium metabolism. The estimated maternaland fetal no-effect exposure levels in the rat (43.2 µg/m2/day) and rabbit (17.6µg/m2/day) studies are approximately equal to the expected human systemicexposure level (18.5 µg/m2/day) from dermal application. There are no adequateand well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Therefore, calcipotriene ointmentshould be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potentialrisk to the fetus.

Nursing MothersIt is not known whether calcipotriene is excreted in human milk. Because manydrugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when calcipotrieneointment, 0.005% is administered to a nursing woman.

Pediatric UseSafety and effectiveness of calcipotriene in pediatric patients have not beenestablished. Because of a higher ratio of skin surface area to body mass, pediatricpatients are at greater risk than adults of systemic adverse effects when they aretreated with topical medication.

Geriatric UseOf the total number of patients in clinical studies of calcipotriene ointment,approximately 12% were 65 or older, while approximately 4% were 75 and over.The results of an analysis of severity of skin-related adverse events showed astatistically significant difference for subjects over 65 years (more severe)compared to those under 65 years (less severe).

ADVERSE REACTIONSIn controlled clinical trials, the most frequent adverse reactions reported forcalcipotriene were burning, itching and skin irritation, which occurred inapproximately 10-15% of patients. Erythema, dry skin, peeling, rash, dermatitis,worsening of psoriasis including development of facial/scalp psoriasis werereported in 1 to 10% of patients. Other experiences reported in less than 1% ofpatients included skin atrophy, hyperpigmentation, hypercalcemia, and folliculitis.Once daily dosing has not been shown to be superior in safety to twice dailydosing.

OVERDOSAGETopically applied calcipotriene can be absorbed in sufficient amounts to producesystemic effects. Elevated serum calcium has been observed with excessive useof calcipotriene ointment.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATIONApply a thin layer of calcipotriene ointment once or twice daily and rub in gentlyand completely.

Calcipotriene Ointment, 0.005%FOR TOPICAL DERMATOLOGIC USE ONLY.Not for Ophthalmic, Oral or Intravaginal Use.

Rx Only

DESCRIPTIONCalcipotriene ointment, 0.005% contains the compound calcipotriene, a syntheticvitamin D3 derivative for topical dermatological use.Chemically, calcipotriene is (5Z,7E,22E,24S)-24-cyclopropyl-9,10-secochola-5,7,10(19),22-tetraene-1α,3β,24-triol-, with the empirical formula C27H40O3, amolecular weight of 412.6, and the following structural formula:

Calcipotriene is a white or off-white crystalline substance. Calcipotriene ointmentcontains calcipotriene 50 µg/g in an ointment base of disodium phosphatedihydrate, edetate disodium, mineral oil, petrolatum, propylene glycol, α-tocopherol, steareth-2 and purified water.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGYIn humans, the natural supply of vitamin D depends mainly on exposure to theultraviolet rays of the sun for conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol to vitamin D3(cholecalciferol) in the skin. Calcipotriene is a synthetic analog of vitamin D3.Clinical studies with radiolabelled ointment indicate that approximately 6% (±3%, SD) of the applied dose of calcipotriene is absorbed systemically when theointment is applied topically to psoriasis plaques or 5% (± 2.6%, SD) whenapplied to normal skin, and much of the absorbed active is converted to inactivemetabolites within 24 hours of application.Vitamin D and its metabolites are transported in the blood, bound to specificplasma proteins. The active form of the vitamin, 1,25-dihyroxy vitamin D3

(calcitriol), is known to be recycled via the liver and excreted in the bile.Calcipotriene metabolism following systemic uptake is rapid, and occurs via asimilar pathway to the natural hormone. The primary metabolites are much lesspotent than the parent compound.There is evidence that maternal 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 (calcitriol) may enterthe fetal circulation, but it is not known whether it is excreted in human milk.The systemic disposition of calcipotriene is expected to be similar to that of thenaturally occurring vitamin.

CLINICAL STUDIESAdequate and well-controlled trials of patients treated with calcipotriene ointmenthave demonstrated improvement usually beginning after two weeks of therapy.This improvement continued in patients using calcipotriene once daily and twice

daily. After 8 weeks of once daily calcipotriene, 56.7% of patients showed atleast marked improvements (6.4% showed complete clearing). After 8 weeks oftwice daily calcipotriene, 70.0% of patients showed at least marked improvement(11.3% showed complete clearing).Subtracting percentages of patients using placebo (vehicle only) from percentagesof patients using calcipotriene who had at least marked improvements after 8weeks yields 39.9% for once daily and 49.6% for twice daily. This adjustmentfor placebo effect indicated that what might appear to be differences betweenonce and twice daily use may reflect differences in the studies independent fromthe frequency of dosing. Although there was a numerical difference in comparisonacross studies, twice daily dosing has not been shown to be superior in efficacyto once daily dosing.Over 400 patients have been treated in open label clinical studies of calcipotrienefor periods of up to one year. In half of these studies, patients who previouslyhad not responded well to calcipotriene were excluded. The adverse events inthese extended studies included skin irritation in approximately 25% of patientsand worsening of psoriasis in approximately 10% of patients. In one of theseopen label studies, half of the patients no longer required calcipotriene by 16weeks of treatment, because of satisfactory therapeutic results.

INDICATIONS AND USAGECalcipotriene ointment, 0.005%, is indicated for the treatment of plaque psoriasisin adults. The safety and effectiveness of topical calcipotriene in dermatosesother than psoriasis have not been established.

CONTRAINDICATIONSCalcipotriene is contraindicated in those patients with a history of hypersensitivityto any of the components of the preparation. It should not be used by patientswith demonstrated hypercalcemia or evidence of vitamin D toxicity. Calcipotrieneshould not be used on the face.

PRECAUTIONSGeneralUse of calcipotriene may cause irritation of lesions and surrounding uninvolvedskin. If irritation develops, calcipotriene should be discontinued.For external use only. Keep out of the reach of children. Always wash handsthoroughly after use.Transient, rapidly reversible elevation of serum calcium has occurred with useof calcipotriene. If elevation in serum calcium outside the normal range shouldoccur, discontinue treatment until normal calcium levels are restored.

Information for PatientsPatients using calcipotriene should receive the following information andinstructions:1. This medication is to be used as directed by the physician. It is for external

use only. Avoid contact with the face or eyes. As with any topical medication,patients should wash hands after application.

2. This medication should not be used for any disorder other than that for whichit was prescribed.

3. Patients should report to their physician any signs of local adverse reactions.4. Patients that apply calcipotriene to exposed portions of the body should avoid

excessive exposure to either natural or artificial sunlight (including tanningbooths, sun lamps, etc.)

Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of FertilityWhen calcipotriene was applied topically to mice for up to 24 months at dosagesof 3, 10 and 30 µg/kg/day (corresponding to 9, 30 and 90 µg/m2/day), no
