Supporting the delivery of medications from dispensing pharmacies

We deliver prescription drugs under strict quality control
We also provide logistics support to help pharmacies reduce their dead stock (pharmacy inventory), which is a major concern for them

We deliver prescription drugs dispensed at pharmacies to patients using appropriate transportation methods.
Please feel free to contact us for same-day delivery as well as next-day delivery.
In addition, to reduce the workload of pharmacists working at pharmacies, we also offer various services, including delivering medications to facilities and exchanging inventory between pharmacies.

Helping to reduce the workload of pharmacists by proposing delivery methods that match the type of prescription drug

We deliver medications dispensed at pharmacies to patients the next day, on the same day, or within short delivery times.
We also make proposals to help alleviate burdens that may be imposed on pharmacies, such as packing and filling out delivery slips.
Furthermore, we can deliver high-value-added pharmaceuticals to patients with rare diseases under strict temperature control and monitoring. We strive to control quality during delivery.

Delivery of prescription drugs dispensed through online doctor consultations and online medication instructions

Sagawa Express works with online service providers to deliver prescription drugs dispensed through online doctor consultations and online medication instructions to patients' homes.

Home delivery of pharmaceuticals for patients with rare diseases

By working with manufacturers, wholesalers, and dispensing pharmacies, we create a system that allows us to receive advance notice of patients' outpatient visits and deliver pharmaceuticals on the date of their choice after their visit.
By outsourcing pharmaceutical delivery to Sagawa Express, pharmacists who previously delivered pharmaceuticals to patients' homes can now focus on their main job.
It also eliminates the burden on patients to carry their own medications home, which increases convenience for patients and makes it a reason for pharmacies to be chosen.

Route delivery of ethical pharmaceuticals

We deliver prescription drugs to nursing care facilities that have contracted with pharmacies for their residents. We provide advance training on the rules at nursing care facilities to ensure safety and security. We also help pharmacies trade medications between themselves and optimize stock control.

Supporting the recirculation of dead stock

We collect excess pharmaceutical inventory and help it to be put into circulation again.
We help reduce pharmaceutical waste, which is estimated to be worth as much as 1 billion yen per year.

Do you have any of these concerns regarding medical logistics?

We would like to outsource the exchange of medicines between pharmacies, which is now handled by pharmacists.

We need assistance with the process from online doctor consultations to online medication instructions.

Some pharmacies have a large amount of pharmaceutical dead stock, resulting in the problem of disposing of excess stock.

Our specialized logistics consulting team offers optimal proposals.

Please feel free to contact us with any concerns or questions you may have regarding medical logistics, such as the delivery and management of pharmaceuticals.
