Tampa-based healthcare technology and pharmaceutical services innovator Wellgistics Health, Inc. closed their initial public offering (IPO) on February 24, 2025, generating $4 million in gross proceeds.
The company issued 888,889 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $4.50 per share, and these shares are now trading on Nasdaq under the ticker “WGRX.”
Wellgistics Health operates behind the scenes, connecting digital health technology (DHT), pharmacy services and wholesale distribution into a unified system that improves patient outcomes and streamlines care. This is especially relevant considering broader industry trends, where AI is redefining the pharmaceuticals wholesale and distribution market — a market projected to grow by nearly $900 billion between 2024 and 2028.

Founded in 2022, Wellgistics Health has rapidly built a micro health ecosystem through a series of strategic acquisitions.
In 2023, the company secured agreements to acquire Wood Sage and Wellgistics LLC, with the Wood Sage acquisition later bringing two key operating subsidiaries — APS, a pharmaceutical technology hub, and CSP, a retail community specialty pharmacy — into its fold.
In addition, the Wellgistics acquisition added a wholesale operations company focused on the distribution and fulfillment of pharmaceutical medications to independent pharmacies. This integrated portfolio is designed to tackle longstanding challenges in pharmaceutical care, from fragmented service delivery to limited patient access.
Enhancing its already robust ecosystem, Wellgistics Health further expanded its reach through a partnership with Tollo Health. Under this agreement, Wellgistics LLC will market Tollo Health’s emerging suite of novel medical food products designed to address side effects associated with GLP-1 treatment and complications from long COVID.
Among these is Tollo’s inaugural offering, Galectovid — a medical food formulated for managing specific viral infections — aimed at mitigating issues such as muscle loss and gut discomfort. Medical foods are specialized, physician-supervised formulations that support dietary management of health conditions, offering a promising alternative when conventional prescriptions fall short.
In another key alliance, Protega Pharmaceuticals joined forces with Wellgistics Health to support pharmacist education and expand patient access to RoxyBond (oxycodone hydrochloride), the first and only FDA-approved abuse-deterrent immediate-release opioid.
Wellgistics’ IPO comes at a time when industry giants like McKesson are integrating robotic automation and AI-driven analytics to streamline inventory management and distribution.
Moreover, in a market challenged by drug shortages, the capital raised through Wellgistics Health’s IPO could be allocated toward deploying AI-driven initiatives — similar to McKesson — where such investments may enhance inventory forecasting and streamline distribution, thereby improving drug availability.
By generating tailored educational content for healthcare practitioners and expanding its network of independent pharmacies through strategic integrations and partnerships, Wellgistics Health is well positioned to drive the adoption of innovative solutions following its IPO.
