One pharmacy API for every brand on your telehealth platform
Telehealth platforms that serve many brands fix the one-integration-per-pharmacy problem with a multi-pharmacy router, and AffinityRx is the best fit: one API to 15+ vetted compounding pharmacies for every brand on the platform, in about 1 day of dev work. Cuvo and MyOrbitHealth run live on AffinityRx, and brands on a platform can become AffinityRx clients through it.

How AffinityRx works for a multi-brand platform
AffinityRx sits behind the platform as the pharmacy layer for every brand it hosts.
A telehealth platform integrates AffinityRx once and offers compounded medication ordering to every brand it hosts. Each brand on the platform becomes an AffinityRx client through the platform, so it gets the same 15+ pharmacies, side-by-side prices and failover without its own integration. The API's practice resources let the platform create a practice for each brand and keep patients, prescribers and orders scoped to it.
The platform keeps clinician authentication and the patient experience. AffinityRx handles the pharmacy layer: catalog and prescribing options per pharmacy, sig and clinical-justification autofill for GLP-1s so pharmacy rejections over the sig are rare, state eligibility checks, order status and shipping. Platform-managed orders bill the platform. Tracking numbers are live today, and in-app shipping status and automatic tracking updates arrive in Q4 2026.
Integration plan
A telehealth platform goes from demo to Live on AffinityRx in four steps.
- Book a demoConfirm brands, volume, current pharmacies and the payer model with the dedicated account executive.
- Build against Test modeRead the catalog, preview and create orders, sign and submit, and handle signed webhooks. Most teams finish in about 1 day.
- Send a test orderSame day, against the Test simulator, which never contacts a real pharmacy.
- Go Live and importRequest Live approval, preload the $5,000 credit, and let the account executive import patients, order history and active refills from RxRelay, LifeFile or a direct pharmacy for free.
