No Insurance? No Problem, with Oval Pharmacy’s Prescription Club

Oval Pharmacy, located at 255 E. Gun Hill Rd., is Norwood’s one-stop destination for all your medical needs, like prescription drugs, specialty medications for HIV, hepatitis, transplants, OTC medications, herbal supplements, immunizations for influenza, pneumonia and shingles.  They also carry incontinence products, ostomy supplies, wheelchairs, walkers, bath benches, blood pressure monitors, glucose testing supplies, nebulizers, aero chambers, and other products.

Medications can be confusing, especially if you are taking multiple medications at different times. It is very common for people to forget which medication they took in the morning or which one they skipped.

Oval Pharmacy can help, by offering comprehensive medication therapy management and unit dose packaging (blister packing) which help improve adherence to your medication regimen.

Medications are often quite expensive, and prices vary widely from one pharmacy to another. This is of particular concern to those who are uninsured or need medications not covered by their plan.

Oval Pharmacy is proud to offer a prescription drug discount card that reduces the price of 300 generics and 5,000 name brand drugs. They also offer flat pricing of $6 on generics, which means you get a 30-day supply of medications to treat conditions like high cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, gastrointestinal disorders, mental health issues, hormone/steroid therapy, Parkinson’s Disease, and management of arthritis and other pain issues.

Call Oval Pharmacy at (718) 654-2200 for more information, or to enroll.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
