We do it through a combination of clinical expertise, nationwide reach and the delivery of committed, caring, unmatched service and support for everyone, every time with no excuses. And, we’ve been doing it for years. We invite you to ask us what we can do for you. Our answer to you will almost always be: “Yes, we do.” Established in 2000 and based in Lake Mary, Florida, Axium is a nationwide clinical specialty pharmacy that makes life easier for those managing chronic disease and complex therapies by offering a helping hand and a better path to therapy management. We are licensed and permitted to operate in all 50 states and Puerto Rico, and specialize in providing patients, physicians, nurses, health plans, and other health care providers and partners with injectable and oral brand-name products.
