IPS Pharma

Unlicensed medicines for individual clinical needs

IPS Pharma supplies unlicensed medicines, including imported products and “specials” made to meet an individual patient’s unmet clinical need. The company describes a service for pharmacists, dispensing doctors and consultants that combines sourcing, manufacture and distribution, with an emphasis on quality assurance and compliant handling. Its site says more than 20,000 formulations are available for immediate manufacture; product suitability and prescribing decisions remain matters for the responsible healthcare professional.

Clinical-trial supply and specialist sourcing

For pharmaceutical companies, biotech and life-science organisations, universities and contract research organisations, IPS Pharma provides clinical-trial supplies. The service covers investigational medicinal products and comparator medicines, with support for the timely, compliant movement of trial materials. Its separate “Special Obtains” offer is described as sourcing unusual or hard-to-find non-pharmaceutical products and devices that mainstream wholesalers may not stock.

Ordering, repeat prescriptions and cold-chain handling

The company offers a 24-hour online ordering portal, MyIPS, with one-click repeat-order pads for individual patients. It also highlights validated cold-chain packaging intended to maintain the required temperature in transit. The MyIPS guidance, medicines resources and controlled-drug requisition form provide operational information for users; healthcare professionals should follow the relevant record-keeping and regulatory requirements for each order.

Resources for pharmacists and healthcare teams

The website includes separate guidance for healthcare professionals, pharmaceutical companies, patients and wholesalers. Its resources cover unlicensed medicines, pharmacist responsibilities and record keeping, England and Wales and Scottish Drug Tariffs, a tariff calculator, FAQs and instructions for using MyIPS. The company also publishes quality, carbon-reduction and modern-slavery documents, as well as news about product availability and clinical-supply work.
