With the addition of these new retail partnerships, UrgentRx has achieved distribution to provide right now relief nationwide.

"Our mission is to offer consumers a pain relief destination and provide them with the fastest relief around. The addition of these retail partners allows us to provide this to consumers on a national scale."
