Order Questions:

Where do you ship?

McGuff Medical: can ship to all 50 states, protectorates and internationally.

McGuff Outsourcing Solutions: you can find a list of all states and protectorates we ship to here.

With an ever-changing regulatory environment, we are doing our best to be licensed in all 50 states and protectorates, but it has become increasingly challenging. If you have any additional questions about where we ship, please contact us at 1 (800) 854-7220.

Can my orders from McGuff Medical Products and McGuff Outsourcing Solutions ship together?

Unfortunately, we can’t ship your medical products and compounded drug orders together. McGuff Medical Products and McGuff Outsourcing Solutions are located in two separate locations, and state and federal laws do not allow us to mix these products in the same package.

How can I change or cancel an order that has been placed?

Just give us a call and speak with one of our customer service representatives. Please be advised, however, that orders are processed shortly after they are placed to ensure they ship out the same day.

Does McGuff offer discounts?

We run special discounts from time to time, such as for conference attendees and special discounts from our customer service team. These discount codes can be applied at checkout. However, they can not be used for an already discounted product. These discounts also can't be applied to ASCOR® orders.

Am I charged when I place my order or when it has shipped?

Your account is only charged when an order has shipped from our facility. A pre-authorization is placed when the order is processed. This also applies to back-ordered products.

I can't find my tracking number; how can I track my order once it has been shipped?

Here are some ways to find your tracking details:

  1. When orders are shipped, you will receive an email from UPS.com with your order and tracking information.
  2. You can find your tracking number here on your order history page.
  3. You can type in your order number here on the McGuff website.
  4. You can call us at 1 (800) 854-7220 and we will provide it to you.
How do I know when my order shipped and when I can expect it?

With each online order, you will receive a shipment confirmation via email, which will include your tracking information. 

You can also track your order on your order history page here or check the status bar.

 

Do you accept international orders?

Yes, we do! We have a team of international advisors waiting to hear from you! Please contact us at 1 (714) 545-2491 Monday - Friday, between 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Pacific Time and let us know where you are located, what products you are interested in and any special requests.

McGuff Compounded Drug Questions:

What is the difference between a McGuff compounded drug and a commercial drug?

McGuff compounded drugs are made from our FDA-licensed McGuff Pharmaceuticals, Inc. manufacturing facility under the FDA and state requirements of a 503B outsourcing facility which allows us to manufacture drug products for distribution without formal drug approval from the FDA.

What is the difference between a McGuff compounded drug vs. other compounded drugs on the market?

There are many differentiators, but it all stems from three main pillars:

  1. Quality: High quality, responsibly sourced, and consistent product. Without that, we believe that does not constitute a viable product. When you use our products, you can be confident knowing they are backed by our McGuff Quality Guarantee.
  2. Service: Without our customers (physicians, nurses and patients) we would not exist as a company. Since our inception, our excellent customer service has been at the forefront of what makes us stand out as a leader in the industry. We do everything in our power to ensure you have a positive experience when working with us.
  3. Involvement: We are not just another company simply offering products at a particular price. We are deeply involved with the market, working with federal, state, international, and other agencies to ensure necessary drugs are available to patients when they need them.

    McGuff has a long and successful track record of successfully working with these agencies to ensure continued patient access to these essential medications. A portion of the profits from these companies directly goes back to funding these endeavors.
Can I speak to a pharmacist about your drugs?

You certainly can. We have pharmacists on staff who would be more than happy to answer any questions you have. Contact us at 1 (800) 854-7220.

What is the general Beyond Use Date (BUD) of your compounded drugs?

Each of our compounded drugs is completely unique. We perform in-depth stability studies of our products to ensure we assign accurate BUD. You can read the general BUD dating of each of our compounded products on each of their product pages under “Specific Attributes”. An example of this can be seen below:


beyond used date example


Contact Us and we will be happy to let you know.

How do I report an adverse event for a McGuff Outsourcing Solutions product?

Once MOS, our 503B outsourcing facility is officially launched, we'll begin selling compounded drugs. At that time, if an adverse event with one of our compounded drugs occurs, contact us at 1 (877) 444-1133 to report it. 

Product Questions:

Why did my ASCOR shipment arrive without ice packs?
We can safely and effectively ship ASCOR® ascorbic acid injection (vitamin C) unrefrigerated without ice packs in the shipment packaging. Please read our complete ASCOR shipping and storage technical details. It is the result of extensive stability testing and FDA review.

If you receive ASCOR vials warm, or even hot, they are still viable. Just refrigerate them upon arrival. 
What is a preservative?

A preservative, used in sterile injections, is an antimicrobial agent used to extend the shelf-life of the drug by retarding or reducing microbial proliferation.

I have a preservative-free vial; how long may I keep it once the stopper has been penetrated?

Once the stopper of a preservative-free vial has been penetrated, you have two hours until it should be discarded. If unopened and properly stored, potency and sterility should be maintained until the expiration date on the vial label.

How can I order IV solutions with so many products being on allocation?

Learn more about what allocations are and what you can do to gain access to allocated IV solutions here.

Do your injectable products contain aluminum?

Aluminum is omnipresent in nature, comprising 8% of the earth’s crust. Aluminum is present in soil, water, plants and animals. It is not feasible to eliminate aluminum completely from pharmaceutical raw materials.

Consequently, you should assume that all injectable products contain aluminum. Disclosure of aluminum content on vials is not mandated except for those products that may be used in Total Parenteral Nutrition that could be administered to neonates.

What is the difference between a BD Vacutainer® Blood Collection Set and a Winged Infusion Set?

A BD Vacutainer® Blood Collection Set is used for blood collection for laboratory analysis and a winged infusion set is used for administration of IV infusion therapy.

Which operating systems are compatible with your EDTA Dosage and Osmolarity Calculation Software?

Any device that can connect to the internet with a modern browser will be able to access the software on your McGuff account.

Are your vaccines thimerosal and mercury-free?

While most of the vaccines we sell are thimerosal-free, a few vaccines still contain a trace amount of thimerosal. Thimerosal is still used in the early stages of manufacturing a few vaccines to ensure the production line is sterile but is removed through a purification process, with only trace amounts remaining. If you have any questions as to whether a vaccine is thimerosal-free or contains trace amounts of thimerosal, please email or call us 1 (800) 854-7220.

Can you check the expiration date of the product I am interested in purchasing?

If the product you're interested in is in stock, your customer service representative will be able to tell you the expiration date of the current lot being shipped. On average, manufactured products will have a year to a year and a half of usable shelf life before their expiration date.

Is there a minimum dollar amount needed to order?

Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak worldwide, the global demand for some Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is exceeding current supply availability.

In addition, the manufacturing of the PPE and many other wound care/infection prevention products have been impacted by the global response to the Coronavirus. While you may see product availability reduction in the near-term, please be assured that we at McGuff Medical are continuing to work diligently to ensure an uninterrupted supply of products and alternative products to you.

Additionally, in order to ensure healthcare providers have access to the PPEs they need, the McGuff Company is temporarily limiting PPEs to healthcare providers.

As always, please feel free to reach out to our McGuff Customer Service team with any questions that you may have.
