What is a specialty pharmacy? How is it different from other types of pharmacies?
Specialty refers to medications used to treat chronic, life-threatening or rare conditions. Additionally, specialty medications may:
- Be given by infusion (intravenously), injection or taken orally
- Cost more than traditional medications
- Have special storage and handling requirements
- Need to be taken on a very strict schedule
- Have support programs and services available to help patients receive the most benefit from their medications
