Independent pharmacies are dispensing more prescriptions than ever—but too many are seeing their profits shrink month after month. In this episode of This Week in Pharmacy, hosts Todd Eury and CEO of MatchRx Johny Kello sit down with Saeed Dinno Director of Pharmacy for a group of independent pharmacies in MI. For a practical, plain-English breakdown of one of the most overlooked metrics impacting pharmacy profitability: GCR, let's dive into this!
This episode isn’t about policy debates, compliance theory, or vendor hype. It’s a real-world conversation designed to help pharmacy owners, managers, and buyers understand how everyday sourcing and dispensing behaviors directly influence margin—often without anyone realizing it.
Saeed explains what GCR actually measures, what it does not measure, and why two pharmacies filling the exact same prescription can end up with completely different financial outcomes. From convenience buying and emergency orders that become routine, to default NDC selection and a disconnect between the buyer and the bench, the episode highlights the subtle habits that quietly erode profitability over time.
More importantly, the conversation delivers actionable steps pharmacies can implement immediately. Saeed outlines the core disciplines that improve performance—smarter buying strategy, better alignment between purchasing and dispensing, and simple operational guardrails that don’t slow workflow. The focus is not on “working harder,” but on working differently.
The episode closes with a clear, clip-worthy takeaway: one specific action pharmacy leaders can take this month to start moving the needle.
If you’ve ever wondered why your pharmacy is busy but the numbers don’t reflect it, this is an episode you’ll want to listen to twice—and put into practice the very next day.Second segment of TWIRx is with Jonathan Adly, CEO of TJM Labs, to discuss his powerful new book, The Innovative Pharmacy: How to Build an 8-Figure Pharmacy One Idea at a Time. At a time when independent pharmacies are being squeezed by rising labor costs, shrinking reimbursements, and increasing operational complexity, Adly delivers a refreshing message: success is still possible—but it requires innovation, clarity, and execution.
Jonathan shares why this book is not a “one-size-fits-all” business blueprint, but a collection of real-world frameworks inspired by hundreds of high-performing pharmacies across the U.S. and Canada. We explore the principles behind sustainable growth, including identifying your ideal customer, building scalable systems through automation, simplifying operations, and playing offense when the math works.
This conversation is a call to action for pharmacy leaders ready to build smarter, faster, and stronger—one bold idea at a time.This episode of TWIRx is sponsored by MatchRx, TJM Labs, Independent Pharmacy Cooperative (IPC) and Sykes & Company.

I Make Drugs Not Approved By The FDA | RxRated Podcast

Tuesday Jan 27, 2026
What happens when your doctor prescribes a medication that does not exist? Not backordered. Not insurance denied. It simply is not made anywhere. In this episode of Rated Rx Podcast, pharmacists break down compounding pharmacy, why it exists, and why some patients would not survive without it. This is one of the most misunderstood areas of healthcare, and it answers a question people search online every day: what happens when standard medications do not work for you?You hear real examples involving pediatric epilepsy, elderly patients with complex medication regimens, feeding tubes, allergies to dyes and fillers, and rare conditions where mass-produced drugs fail. The episode explains how compounding pharmacists legally create customized medications by changing dosage forms, removing allergens, combining medications, and creating formulations that pharmaceutical companies never made.The crew also tackles the biggest misconception around compounding medications, including why compounded drugs are not FDA approved, what regulations actually apply, how USP standards protect patients, and why this work is highly regulated rather than experimental. Sterile compounding, non-sterile compounding, safety checks, pharmacist verification, and real-world problem solving are all explained clearly so you understand how these medications are made safely and legally.This episode helps patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals understand when compounding is appropriate and why asking about it can change outcomes.For educational and entertainment purposes only.Follow Us At:YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@RatedRxPodcastInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/ratedrxpodcast/Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574813907982TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@ratedrxpodcast
