U.S. Supreme Court and Generic Drugs | TWIRx

This week, This Week in Pharmacy examines several stories shaping the business, clinical, and legal future of pharmacy practice.
In TWIRx News from Pharmacy Times from Megan Maroney, PharmD, BCPP, FAAPP, focused on antidepressant use, withdrawal concerns, deprescribing, and shared decision-making. The key takeaway: patients should never stop antidepressants abruptly. Pharmacists can play a vital role in reducing stigma, educating patients, and supporting safe conversations about tapering, side effects, and long-term treatment.
In health technology news, FDB research presented at the 2026 AMIA Amplify Informatics Conference found that patient-specific, risk-based medication guidance reduced pharmacy alert volume by 70% in a high-volume community pharmacy setting. The model consolidates alerts into one actionable message tied to the patient’s most relevant risk, helping reduce alert fatigue and improve workflow.
Finally, we review a federal court ruling in Eli Lilly’s lawsuit against Houston-based Empower Pharmacy over compounded tirzepatide versions of Mounjaro and Zepbound. The judge dismissed key federal trademark and Texas unfair competition claims, while allowing other state claims to continue.Andy Crawford, with Keysource is back on TWIRx talking about the U.S. Supreme Court taking up Hikma Pharmaceuticals USA Inc. v. Amarin Pharma Inc., a case that could significantly affect generic drug competition. At issue is whether Hikma’s marketing materials and public communications around its generic version of Amarin’s fish oil-based cardiovascular drug improperly promoted a still-patented use. Hikma and the broader generic industry argue the case is about protecting “skinny label” rules, which allow generics to carve out patented indications while still bringing lower-cost medications to market. For pharmacists, the decision could influence generic availability, substitution confidence, pricing pressure, and how manufacturers communicate with providers and pharmacies.
Thanks to our sponsors, CassianRx and IPC, for supporting independent pharmacy, innovation, and the future of patient-centered care.

Expanding Long-Term Care Pharmacy at Home, Delivery Logistics, AI, and Healthcare Misinformation | TWIRx

Sponsored by Rx4RouteThis Week in Pharmacy returns with a timely two-part episode focused on pharmacy operations, medication access, and the growing responsibility of healthcare communicators in the age of AI.In our first segment, we welcome Joseph Dymowski, PharmD, CEO of Centennial Pharmacy Services, and Doniyor Sattarov, Vice President of Operations at Rx4Route, for a conversation about expanding long-term care pharmacy at home.

Precision in Practice; Real Stories, Real Results in Integrative Psychiatry | Precision Medicine Pharmacist Podcast

Welcome back to PPN – The Precision Medicine Pharmacist.
In part one of our series, Precision Psychiatry in Practice – A Pharmacist–Physician Collaboration, we explored how a collaborative approach can begin to reshape psychiatric care — building trust, aligning perspectives, and creating space for more personalized treatment.
Today, we move deeper into what that looks like in real-world, integrative medicine psychiatry.
I’m excited to welcome back Dr. Saba Arshad, joined by Dr. Afshan Khan, as we explore how their partnership brings together different clinical perspectives to care for the whole patient — not just symptoms, but the broader context of mental health, lifestyle, and individualized needs.
In this episode, Precision in Practice: Real Stories, Real Results in Integrative Psychiatry, we focus on the human side of collaboration. How do two clinicians with different training and strengths come together to approach complex cases? What does shared decision-making really look like in practice? And how does this integrative model shape better patient outcomes?
We’ll walk through real patient cases, explore the dynamics of their collaboration, and uncover how this partnership continues to evolve to meet patients where they are.
If part one introduced the foundation, today’s episode brings that collaboration to life.
Let’s dive in.

How AI is Changing Your Pharmacy Visit (For Better or Worse) | RxRated Podcast

AI in healthcare is no longer a futuristic concept. It’s already answering the phones at your local CVS. We’re pulling back the curtain on how AI is currently being used in pharmacy practice, from encrypted "VA GPT" systems for note-writing to controversial new phone bots that some patients claim are a "stain on society".We dive into the big news of the CVS and Google Cloud partnership to launch Health100, a platform designed to integrate your refills, copays, and even wearable health data into a single AI-driven hub. While the promise of centralized care sounds like a dream, the "real-world" experience can feel like a nightmare. We react to a brutal Reddit thread and even call a CVS live to demonstrate the frustration of wrestling with a robot that refuses to transfer you to a human. Whether you're a "tinfoil hat" wearer worried about data leaks or someone just trying to get a prescription after surgery, you need to hear the clinical and personal reality of the AI takeover.This show is intended for educational and informational purposes.

Q&A: Mayo Clinic leaders share strategies for managing high-cost drugs without breaking the bank | Asembia AXS26 Summit
https://www.managedhealthcareexecutive.com/view/q-a-mayo-clinic-leaders-share-strategies-for-managing-high-cost-drugs-without-breaking-the-bank-asembia-axs26-summitMayo Clinic leaders emphasize that managing high-cost drugs requires clear definitions, structured formulary review processes, and multidisciplinary collaboration to balance cost, access, and clinical value. They highlight the importance of evaluating safety, efficacy, financial impact, and site-of-care decisions together, while noting that non-340B systems face increasing pressure from rising costs and reimbursement constraints. Ultimately, success depends on stronger alignment between health systems, manufacturers, and payers to sustain access without compromising quality of care. Where Gross-to-net Pressure Actually Lives After LaunchToday’s guest post comes from Cindy Baksh, Chief Product Officer at ConnectiveRx.https://www.drugchannels.net/2026/05/where-gross-to-net-pressure-actually.htmlThe article explains that “gross-to-net pressure” isn’t driven by a single factor, but by a combination of rebates, discounts, fees, and policy changes that continue to reshape how drug pricing actually works behind the scenes. As the industry shifts toward a “net pricing” model, traditional rebate-driven strategies are weakening, forcing manufacturers, PBMs, and pharmacies to rethink how value and profits are generated.Today's featured guest is Dr. Ndidiamaka Okpareke PharmD for CongressDr. Ndidiamaka “Didi” Okpareke, PharmD, is a pharmacist, entrepreneur, and political candidate running for Congress in New Mexico’s 1st Congressional District. A first-generation Nigerian-American, she built her career in healthcare after graduating from the University of New Mexico College of Pharmacy and went on to found and lead a successful compounding pharmacy serving her community. 
Motivated by nearly two decades of patient care experience, Okpareke entered the political arena to address challenges such as healthcare access, rising costs, and the shortage of providers in New Mexico. Running as a Republican, she emphasizes strengthening healthcare systems, supporting economic growth, and preserving opportunity for future generations, positioning herself as a community-focused leader bringing frontline healthcare insight into public policy. 
This special episode highlights how TJM Labs is redefining pharmacy operations through AI-driven automation, bringing together insights from industry leaders Bhavesh Patel, PharmD—CEO of Carepoint Pharmacy—and Jonathan Adly, PharmD, MBA—CEO of TJM Labs. At the center of the conversation is how modern pharmacies are facing rising prescription volumes, staffing constraints, and increasing operational complexity, and why traditional manual workflows can no longer keep pace. TJM Labs addresses this challenge by deploying AI-powered “digital workers” that automate tasks like prescription intake, data entry, and patient communication—allowing pharmacy teams to shift their focus back to patient care and clinical decision-making. 
Through the lens of both operator and innovator, the discussion explores how AI is not replacing pharmacy professionals, but augmenting them—reducing burnout, improving accuracy, and enabling scalable growth. With automation handling up to the majority of repetitive workload and delivering measurable ROI, TJM Labs represents a new model where technology and pharmacy expertise work together to create more efficient, patient-centered operations. 

Tennessee PBM Reform Win | PBM Reform

Tennessee lawmakers have passed a major pharmacy reform bill aimed at pharmacy benefit managers, or PBMs, by barring companies from owning both a PBM and a pharmacy. The legislation is widely seen as targeting CVS Health, which owns Caremark and operates pharmacies across the state.Supporters say the bill is designed to curb vertical integration, restore fair competition, and protect independent pharmacies from reimbursement practices they view as harmful to patient access and community pharmacy survival.CVS has pushed back hard, warning that the new law could force it to shut down its 134 Tennessee pharmacy locations and trigger a legal challenge. The company argues the measure would reduce access for patients and does not directly address broader PBM issues like pricing or formularies.This Tennessee fight reflects a larger national battle over PBM reform, pharmacy ownership, market power, and the future of prescription drug access.

Confused About Medications in Pregnancy? Why Pharmacists Are the Essential Experts | MaternalRx

“My doctor says it’s safe, but Google says it’s not… what do I do?” It’s the reality so many pregnant and breastfeeding moms face when they’re given conflicting medication advice. In this episode, consulting pharmacist Dr. Danielle Plummer and clinical pharmacist Dr. Tara Birch pull back the curtain on pregnancy medication confusion and why it happens. As Tara puts it, “Pharmacists need to be utilized more than they are. We are medication specialists.” The core message is clear: every mom needs a pharmacist as part of her care team. From preconception through the postpartum period, pharmacists bring the medication expertise that is often missing and can prevent confusion, errors, and unnecessary risk. From the overwhelm of choosing a prenatal vitamin to navigating mixed messages from providers and “Dr. Google,” they walk through what’s actually happening behind the scenes and how to make safer, more confident decisions.You’ll hear why “there is no one-size-fits-all prenatal vitamin,” how postpartum needs can increase during breastfeeding, and why a truly collaborative care team leads to better outcomes for both mom and baby. If you’ve ever second-guessed a medication, felt confused by conflicting advice, or wished you had a clear, trusted voice guiding you, this conversation will change how you approach your care.What You’ll Learn:- Why pharmacists are underused in maternal care- How to handle conflicting medication advice- How to choose the right prenatal vitamin- Why postpartum nutrition matters- The risks of relying on Google or AI for medication decisions- How collaborative care improves outcomesExpert Insights:- Pharmacists in Maternal Care: Pharmacists are medication experts but are often excluded from care teams. Including them improves safety and outcomes.- Conflicting Advice: Patients often receive mixed guidance from providers. Pharmacists help clarify evidence-based decisions.- Prenatal Vitamins: Not one-size-fits-all. Needs vary by diet, genetics, and symptoms.- Postpartum Nutrition: Nutrient needs may increase after delivery, especially during breastfeeding.- Gaps in Care: Hospital care is collaborative. Outpatient care is fragmented, creating safety risks.- Preconception Planning: Medication review before pregnancy can prevent first-trimester risks.Connect with Dr. Tara Birch:https://themotherbabypharmacist.comwww.instagram.com/themotherbabypharmacist/Phone/Text: 321-609-5424Connect with Dr. Danielle Plummer:www.HGPharmacist.comlinkedin.com/in/daniellerplummer

YARAL Pharma Expands Access to Prescription Topical Patches Through Telehealth | Executive Dose

In this episode, we explore YARAL Pharma’s latest move to expand patient access to prescription topical patches through a new collaboration with UpScriptHealth. The partnership brings YARAL’s prescription topical treatments to a direct-to-consumer telehealth platform, giving patients a way to consult with licensed clinicians online and, when appropriate, receive prescriptions through participating pharmacies. The announcement reflects a broader shift in how pharmaceutical manufacturers are using digital health channels to improve convenience, affordability, and access to care. 
We also examine what this means for the evolving pharmacy and telehealth landscape. YARAL Pharma said the collaboration supports its focus on continuity of supply, quality, customer service, and broader access to generic medicines, while UpScriptHealth highlighted its long-standing role in direct-to-patient telehealth services and its history of helping patients access care and prescriptions through online channels. 
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:YARAL Pharma’s prescription topical patches are now available through UpScriptHealth’s telehealth platform. Patients can use the platform to connect with licensed healthcare providers virtually, determine eligibility, and potentially receive a prescription fulfilled through participating pharmacies. YARAL described the collaboration as part of its effort to expand access to affordable generic medicines through digital channels. 
The episode also highlights the companies behind the announcement. YARAL Pharma is the U.S. generics subsidiary of IBSA, and UpScriptHealth describes itself as a direct-to-patient telehealth company that has helped facilitate more than two million prescriptions and works with a network of hundreds of physicians. 
Key Discussion Points:
 YARAL Pharma’s prescription topical patches are now offered through UpScriptHealth’s telehealth platform. 
 The partnership creates a direct-to-consumer path for online consultation and prescribing, when clinically appropriate. 
 YARAL says the move strengthens patient convenience and supports access to affordable generic treatment options. 
 UpScriptHealth brings an established national telehealth network and direct-to-patient infrastructure to the collaboration. 
 The announcement signals continued momentum in telehealth-enabled prescription access and digital pharmaceutical distribution. This last point is an inference based on the stated goals and structure of the partnership.
