YARAL Pharma Launches 15-Count Diclofenac Epolamine Topical System 1.3%, Offering Pharmacists a Flexible, Space-Saving Option

Compact packaging helps simplify storage, ease inventory concerns, and make daily pharmacy operations more manageable

PARSIPPANY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--YARAL Pharma Inc.

Designed to meet the operational needs of today’s pharmacies, the new 15-count configuration helps pharmacists reduce clutter, optimize storage space, and manage inventory with greater flexibility, while continuing to provide patients with the same trusted therapy.

“As pharmacy shelves, drawers, and bins become increasingly crowded, thoughtful packaging makes a difference,” said Stephen Beckman, CEO of YARAL Pharma. “Our 15-count Diclofenac Epolamine Topical System delivers the same product patients and pharmacists rely on, now in a smaller footprint that can save up to 50% of shelf space compared to the 30-count carton.”

With its compact size and practical design, the 15-count Diclofenac Epolamine Topical System offers several advantages for pharmacies:

• Space-Saving & Organized Storage – A smaller carton height reduces clutter, simplifies stacking, and fits easily into limited shelf, drawer, or bin space.

• Streamlined Workflow – Easier to locate, stock, and access during daily operations, helping reduce time spent managing inventory.

• Flexible Inventory Management – The smaller pack size supports more efficient stocking, helps prevent over-ordering, and allows pharmacies to better match inventory to demand – especially when space is limited.
