ScriptSave WellRx's New App Includes Potentially Life-Saving Details About Drug Interactions

The prescription discount program, ScriptSave WellRx, has announced the latest release of the ScriptSave WellRx app, providing patients with prescription price transparency, alerts for when they’re due to take their next pill and life-saving drug interaction warnings.

The new ScriptSave WellRx app release offers multiple new features, including a “Virtual Medicine Chest” where patients can view and manage their medications, and “Reminders” that alert patients when to take their next pill or when they need a refill from the pharmacy. The mobile app also helps patients track side-effects that they might want to share with their doctor and/or caregiver.

The newest enhancement for users of the WellRx platform also provides free access to potentially life-saving functionality, such as:

• “Drug Interaction Warnings”: Patients can receive and share warnings when drugs in their personal in-app Medicine Chest might interact with each other.
• “Lifestyle Interaction Warnings”: This includes warnings about potential drug interactions with certain foods patients eat or activities they might engage in.
• “Expanded Drug Information”: Patients can view detailed information, images and videos for drugs within the Medicine Chest (with availability in English & Spanish).

The updated release also provides the option of a biometric security measure that allows users to securely log into the mobile app with their fingerprint.

Shawn Ohri, Vice President of Product & Technology at ScriptSave, says this latest release delivers a breakthrough in medication adherence, as well as providing potentially life-saving information about drug interactions.

“Filling the prescription is only the first part of the adherence challenge. Taking the meds as prescribed is equally as important,“ Ohri said. “All of our ScriptSave WellRx tools are aimed to help patients take and understand the medications they are using. Ultimately, our goal is to help conquer barriers to adherence and improve overall health outcomes for all concerned.”

“We have taken it upon ourselves to leverage our unique position in the industry. Not only do we have a deep bench of pharmacist experience & expertise on our Executive Team and a 25-year history of driving increased access to prescription meds by pioneering market-leading savings programs like ScriptSave WellRx, but we also have one of the most innovative IT and software dev teams in the industry. When you bring all that together, it’s just possible that we can use technology to make a dent in a problem that’s plagued physicians, pharmacists, and insurers for decades.”

The new mobile app can also direct users to a live pharmacist over the phone if they have any questions or need guidance on their medication. All of this functionality is available at no cost to the patient, with a free download of the ScriptSave WellRx app from either the Apple or Google app store.
