In response to several inaccurate media reports presented to pharmacists about McKesson Canada‘s credibility, the company put out a press release outlining how it is very much a reliable partner for independent pharmacists.
The news release said that McKesson Canada employees over 3,500 staff, who are dedicated to upholding exemplary business practices.

The press release adds that McKesson’s mandate is to provide programs that assist pharmacists in maximizing the availability of needed medication and efficient management of their facilities.
McKesson points out that the PROXIM compliance program, as described in the discrediting media reports, was abandoned in 2013 after an agreement was signed with RAMQ.
In addition, the subscription to this formulary was strictly on volunteer basis and pharmacists were at liberty to withdraw at any time.
McKesson also specified that as a distributor the company reinvests a large proportion of its profits into the supply chain. These reinvestments permit the company to offer services such as helping pharmacists establish high standard for practice, facilitate taking on new patients and improving accessibility to front-line care.
