About this update from Mednow Inc.
[{"type":"text","content":"\nMednow Inc (TSXV:MNOW) (OTCQX:MDNWF), Canada’s on-demand virtual pharmacy has expanded its suite of services to its at-home Medvisit and other patients.\n\nMedvisit’s expanded suite of services includes an at-home medication review program for patients who are not physically able to attend a community pharmacy. The addition of the at-home medication review program, conducted by our team of licensed traveling pharmacists, allows the physician who will see the patient afterwards to focus on treating the patient and not on performing a medication history.

Medvisit conducts approximately 30,000 patient home visits per year and has served over 400,000 patients since inception. Patients that are unable to leave their home rely on over 100 doctors in the Medvisit network for the treatment of acute and episodic illness and injury.\n\nThe combination of pharmacy and doctor home visits through the Mednow platform has created synergies that greatly benefit patients.
