MedVantx is changing old ideas about how the pharmaceutical industry works.

Through its proprietary automated ATM-like prescription management system (MedStart(TM)), MedVantx provides physicians with access to these free initial medication therapies through a system that automates the traditional sampling process, captures complete sampling data that can be electronically transferred to the patients' medical record and provides consumers access to highly relevant drug and disease state educational materials.
