Specialty Pharmacies
Specialty pharmacies provide focused care for patients with complex medical needs.
Specialty drugs are used to treat complex, chronic conditions such as cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis. These medications may be taken orally, by injection, or infusion, and often require special handling.
Specialty pharmacies are dedicated to managing these complex therapies and offer:
