UrgentRx

UrgentRx is a line of fast-acting, portable OTC medications providing right now relief and addressing the unmet needs of today’s busy, on-the-go consumer. UrgentRx Fast Powders come in an innovative, fast-acting flavored powder format available in convenient, single-dose, credit-card sized packets for easier portability and accessibility. The flavored powders can be taken without water, providing immediate relief whenever and wherever needed. Initially developed for heart attack victims, UrgentRx currently produces medications for everyday ailments such as headaches, aches and pains, allergies, heartburn, and upset stomach.

UrgentRx’s flagship product, Critical Care Aspirin to Go, was conceived for heart attack victims who are 23% more likely to survive by taking aspirin at the first signs of a heart attack. Within days of being on the market, the product was recognized for saving the life of a heart attack victim on the slopes at Vail Ski Resort. Today, UrgentRx Critical Care Aspirin to Go has saved over 10 lives and is carried on all American Airline planes as well as EMT and ambulance units nationwide.

Based in Denver, Colorado, UrgentRx was founded by entrepreneur Jordan Eisenberg and is backed by JUMP Investors and Boulevard Capital Management.
