Ameritox’s proprietary algorithm, RxGuardian, will enable Paradigm Management Services to work with the attending physician to measure compliance with prescription regimens and develop protocols for the chronic pain cases they manage.

This data helps in identifying non-compliance, including absence of prescriptions and supplementation.
“We are delighted to partner with Ameritox for this service,” said Paradigm’s Chief Executive Officer, Robert Fahlman. “as it will provide us an additional management tool for this very complex clinical population. Furthermore, we will be able to work with our customers and treating physicians to ensure appropriate medication protocols are followed.”
