Calvin Scott

What Calvin Scott does

Calvin Scott & Co., Inc. (DBA Calvin Scott) is a privately held pharmaceutical repackager and distributor founded in 1970 and headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The company sells ready-to-dispense controlled and non-controlled prescription medications (including Phentermine, Phendimetrazine, Diethylpropion, Metformin, Topiramate, NP Thyroid, and Testosterone) along with nutritional supplements to weight loss clinics and wellness centers across the United States. Each medication can be repackaged to clinic-specified pill counts and private-labeled with the clinic's logo, eliminating the need for in-clinic counting and labeling equipment. The company holds FDA and DEA licensure and VAWD (Verified-Accredited Wholesale Distributor) accreditation from the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy.

Calvin Scott's proprietary web-based Physician Dispensing Software provides automated reporting to 46 state Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) systems, real-time inventory management, barcode scanning, automatic reordering thresholds, and integration with Dymo label printers for generating FDA- and DEA-approved patient-specific labels with unique prescription numbers. The software is offered complimentary with medication purchases, positioning the platform as a workflow and compliance layer rather than a standalone SaaS product. The system is designed to allow clinic staff to dispense a medication in approximately 30 seconds while satisfying state controlled-substance reporting obligations without manual data entry.

Revenue is generated primarily through transaction-based sales of prepackaged medications, with the dispensing software functioning as a customer-acquisition and retention tool rather than a direct revenue line. The company employs a sales-led, relationship-driven go-to-market via dedicated sales representatives supported by phone (800-545-6545), email, and a web-based ordering portal; pricing is quote-based and customized by medication type, quantity, and labeling requirements with no setup fees. Customers are predominantly small, independent weight loss and wellness clinics served nationwide on a domestic-only basis.
