Medical Arts Dispensary of Ottawa has built its reputation for customer services since 1929. In 1990, we were the first
to introduce a multi-dose packaging unit in Canada. To further provide value added services to our customers we developed
an in-house software to allow us to generate customizable MARs with input from nursing staff at the various facilities
serviced by the pharmacy.
It is after continuous and considerable in-house research and development, combined with a product offering that is at the
leading edge of technology, that Medical Arts Dispensary has attained its present status as a leader in the long-term and
