Assured Pharmacy, Inc. (OTCBB: APHY)
Specialty Compounded Prescriptions
Robert DelVecchio, CEO of Assured Pharmacy told Stock Guru today: “We believe we will have a national footprint in five to seven years”
That will be easier than it sounds. Assured Pharmacy has developed a business model with a history of success and is on track to be EPS positive by Third Quarter 2007!
They have proven their concept is more than viable, that it fills a void while simultaneously proving they have what it takes to run their unique pharmacy for chronic pain sufferers!
Assured Pharmacy works directly with the physician to create the specialized and often unique compounded prescription for the individual patient’s chronic pain. Providing adequate analgesia for patients with moderate to severe pain may require the use of multiple medications, often at high dosages. Assured Pharmacy makes available to physicians and patients a mixture of standard and customized pharmacy products and services.
There is a tremendous need for specialized phamacies. Many, many pharmacies have elected NOT to dispense narcotics. Chronic pain patients are often viewed as addicts by pharmacies.
By stocking narcotic medicatiaons and being able to create specialized compounds pursuant to the physcians customized directive for the patient’s specific needs, Assured Pharmacy has enjoyed a dramatic increase in revenue. Robert DelVecchio became CEO in February of 2005 and the pharmacies have experienced tremendous growth which was unimpeded by WalMart’s entrance into low cost prescriptions!

Robert DelVechio’s business model is producing gross margins approaching 30% with an underlying infrastructure in place to support 20 stores.
Assured Pharmacy is on track to be earnings per share profitable by the Third Quarter of 2007 … and that’s proof positive this business model functions at an incredibly high level!
This company DOES NOT compete with Wal-Mart! This company fills a void in patient and physician pharmacy needs! Their success is reflected in expanding sales!
Stay tuned to understand why this business model is so successful across the board!
