Specialty Medications Require Special Treatment

Specialty medications are used to treat complex, chronic conditions like cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis, among others. Specialty medications come in many different forms including injectable, infused, oral, inhaled and topical. Many require refrigeration during shipment and at home. Specialty medications are generally more expensive than traditional drugs and may require pre-authorization by your health plan. These drugs require special handling and delivery and therefore, are obtained from a specialty pharmacy trained to handle these drugs.
