The Hard Truth About Pharmacies

 Why So Many Are Struggling and What You Can Do About It


Pharmacies across the country are under pressure and the cracks are showing. From independents to chains, the hits keep coming.

Here’s what’s really going on and why so many pharmacies are losing ground… fast.

1. Lower Drug Prices ≠ Pharmacy Wins
  • Sure, patients benefit but pharmacies bleed.
  • Margins are razor-thin.
  • Brand-name profits? Gone.

You're forced to push generics, offer services and hustle harder, just to stay afloat.
The system cuts your revenue, then tells you to “innovate” your way out of the hole.

2. Reimbursement Rates Are a Joke
Let’s call it what it is: 
  • You're getting underpaid.
  • PBMs slash your payments.
  • You’re dispensing meds at a loss.
  • Spread pricing and clawbacks? Legal robbery.

You’re the one delivering care but somehow, you’re last in line for pay.

3. Staff Burnout Is Breaking Your Business
  • Understaffed.
  • Overworked.
  • Undervalued.

Add in glitchy tech and unrealistic expectations, and it’s no wonder morale is collapsing. You’re not just losing money, you’re losing people.

4. The Retail Pharmacy Model Is Crumbling
  • Patients are going online.
  • Chains are closing stores.
  • Drug shortages, inflation, theft all hitting at once.

Pharmacies are getting squeezed out of the market. And those that don’t evolve? They won’t make it.

So… Now What?
