In the second installment of our 3-part KeySource Series on the Pharmacy Podcast Network, Andrew Crawford, VP of Sales & Marketing at KeySource, joins Todd Eury to explore one of the most urgent priorities for regional and national chain pharmacies — supplier alignment as a driver of strategic growth. With NACDS TSE right around the corner, this conversation takes a hard look at the pressures chains face today — from unpredictable PBM reimbursements and restrictive PVA contracts to the operational ripple effects of even a single NDC disruption. At chain scale, where central fill and automation keep thousands of prescriptions moving daily, stability, flexibility, and strategic control are non-negotiable. In this episode, we cover: The State of Chains: How PBM volatility, slim PVA margins, and supply continuity challenges are reshaping priorities. The Shift Toward Supplier Alignment: Why leading chains are moving beyond rigid structures to build strategic, responsive partnerships. How KeySource Supports Chain Growth: From NDC continuity to opportunistic buys, primary award support, and autonomy beyond PVA constraints. Strategic Support Beyond the Product: The downstream impact of supply instability — and how proactive supplier partnerships mitigate risk. Looking Ahead to NACDS TSE: How to turn supplier relationships into a competitive edge. Whether you manage a regional chain or lead procurement for a national brand, this episode unpacks the supplier strategies that can protect your operations, enable growth, and strengthen your competitive position in a volatile market.

In this episode, YARAL Pharma CEO, Stephen Beckman joins clinical sports pharmacist Jessica Beal, PharmD. to discuss an important topic for athletes and active individuals – the role topical NSAID patches can play in acute pain management. Listeners can visit www.YARALPharma.com to learn more about the company and its products or connect on LinkedIn.    Diclofenac Epolamine Topical System 1.3%    Diclofenac Epolamine Topical System 1.3% is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for treating acute pain from minor strains, sprains, and bruises in adults and children aged 6 and older.     Serious side effects may include increased risk of cardiovascular and gastrointestinal (GI) events. NSAIDs can raise the risk of heart attack, stroke, gastrointestinal bleeding, ulceration, and perforation of the stomach and intestines, which can be fatal. The risk for serious cardiovascular events may occur early in treatment and may increase with duration of use. Elderly patients and those with a history of peptic ulcer disease or GI bleeding are at higher risk for serious GI events.    Do not use in patients who are allergic to diclofenac or any of its ingredients, or have a history of asthma, urticaria, or other allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs. Do not use in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Avoid use on broken skin. Discontinue immediately if signs of hypersensitivity occur.      Patients should be informed about the warning signs and symptoms of liver problems. Discontinue use if abnormal liver tests persist or worsen or if signs of liver disease develop. Avoid using Diclofenac Epolamine Topical System 1.3% in patients with severe heart failure unless the benefits are expected to outweigh the risks.    The most common side effects include itching, nausea, and headache. Patients should stop use and consult their doctor at the first sign of skin rash or other signs of sensitivity.    Patients should ask their doctor if Diclofenac Epolamine Topical System 1.3% is right for them.

In this episode of This Week in Pharmacy for May 16th, 2025, Pharmacy Podcast Network founder Todd Eury is joined by his co-host Dr. Ryan Paul Liabenow, PhD, CEO of Mango Health as they review TWIRx News. Our first segment, we explore the transformative potential of the Long-Term Care at Home (LTC@Home) pharmacy model. As healthcare shifts towards home-based care, pharmacies have a unique opportunity to expand their services beyond traditional settings.  Key Discussion Points: Strategic Partnership Spotlight: We delve into the recent collaboration between RxSafe/Eyecon, PharmaComplete, and the LTC@Home Pharmacy Network.

Why This Matters: The LTC@Home model represents a significant shift in pharmacy services, aligning with the broader trend of patient-centered, home-based care. By adopting this model, pharmacies can play a pivotal role in reducing hospitalizations and improving the quality of life for patients requiring long-term care.   On the second feature, we spotlight a remarkable family legacy that's shaped community pharmacy in Salt Lake City for over 70 years. We're talking about Jolley's Compounding Pharmacy—a third-generation, family-owned pharmacy that continues to blend tradition with innovation.   From the pioneering vision of Joel Jolley in 1954 to the modern leadership of Dean Jolley, R.Ph., and now Dr. Benjamin Jolley, the Jolley family has remained committed to personalized care, compounding excellence, and pharmacist-driven leadership. Ben is joined by his sister, Megan Jolley Milne, PharmD, BCACP, entrepreneur and CEO of Nutranize.    This Episode is sponsored by Independent Pharmacy Cooperative (IPC) and Eyecon RxSafe.    Connect with Us: For more insights and updates, follow This Week in Pharmacy on LinkedIn and Twitter.

In her work as an MSL, she has supported diagnostics for preeclampsia (sFlt-1/PlGF) and procalcitonin, as well as therapies for iron deficiency anemia and small cell lung cancer.   Through her podcast, Danielle shows how pharmacists play a key role in improving maternal outcomes.
