GalenusRx addresses a global problem with a comprehensive solution.
Inappropriate medication combinations can lead to ER visits, hospitalizations and avoidable, premature death. GalenusRx Medication APPRAISAL identifies medication regimens with high concern for adverse drug events.

The Problem

Adverse drug events are a public health crisis.

ADEs account for over 1.3 million emergency department visits and $136 billion in healthcare costs every year in the U.S. alone.1 Estimates place them among the four most common causes of death worldwide, alongside heart disease, cancer, and stroke.2

With the right information, as many as 80% of these could be prevented.3

The traditional system is outdated and incomplete.

Introduced over 50 years ago, the standard solution to medication safety only analyzes one-drug to one-drug interaction. Most advances have focused on improving data collection and analysis, not prevention.

About Us

The mission behind GalenusRx took shape in the late 1990s with the company’s founders, PharmD/PhD scientists who specialize in drug disposition science and its application. Their goal—to materially reduce adverse drug events—informed work that’s been proven and widely supported by peer-reviewed scientific articles. An expert product engineering team spurred that work forward, shaping it into a proprietary medication safety platform that channels comprehensive data into actionable insights.
