What are Specialty Pharmacy Medications?
Specialty Pharmacy Medications are medications manufactured often using highly specialized techniques. They were developed to manage or prevent symptoms associated with long term chronic disease states. Many of these medications require frequent clinical monitoring due to side effects. The medication may be self injected or given orally. Specialty Pharmacy Medications also include medications that cannot be stocked at a local retail pharmacy.
