PillBot.com acquires online pharmacy HealthMeds.com

UniVisp LLC, parent of PillBot.com and PillBid.com, has acquired HealthMeds.com, an international discount pharmacy.

PillBot.com, which caters to seniors, offers comparison prescription drug pricing results for major online pharmacies such as: Walgreen`s, Eckerds, Drug Emporium, CVS, Phar-Mor, Drugstore.com and others.

"The acquisition of HealthMeds.com places the company into the position of providing not only comparison shopping options to online users of the major online pharmacies, but also the ability to provide heavily discounted mail order prescriptions through HealthMeds` pharmacy division," said Gretchen Bartholomew, President of UniVisp, based in Tuxedo Park, NY. "PillBot.com bills itself as `unbiased,` and it will remain unbiased, even though the company has acquired a pharmacy. The prices presented on PillBot.com are the prices stated by the major online pharmacies on their own web sites and as such, those pharmacies have the ability to adjust their pricing as they see fit. Additionally, we recognize that many consumers wish to deal with pharmacy chains that they physically visit locally. HealthMeds.com simply gives the consumer another option," she added.
