WOONSOCKET, R.I. — CVS Pharmacy’s latest initiative is making medication management easier for patients with multiple prescriptions. The company has debuted the ScriptPath Prescription Schedule, which shows all of a patient’s current prescription information in one place. The schedule features easy-to-understand icons that indicated when a patient should take a medication and how much should be taken in each dose.

CVS Pharmacy has opened more than 13,000-sq.-ft., two-story location in Times Square — the largest featuring the company’s new front-store strategy.

WOONSOCKET, R.I. — CVS Pharmacy’s largest location featuring its new store format is now open to shoppers at the “crossroads of the world.” The company’s new two-story flagship Times Square location features CVS Pharmacy’s expanded health and beauty focused format the company rolled out earlier this year.

As the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention project that more than 1,000 people are treated everyday as a result of prescription opioid misuse, and the New York Times reports that drug overdose becomes the leading cause of death of Americans younger than 50 years of age, research from CVS Health Research Institute and Johns Hopkins University is looking at how algorithms can be used to help identify signs of patients misusing and abusing opioids.

WOONSOCKET, R.I. — CVS Health is continuing its fight against prescription drug misuse and abuse with efforts across its businesses. The company on Thursday announced enhanced enterprise-wide efforts to support drug disposal, manage pain medications and fund treatment and recovery programs.
