Specialty drugs

Specialty drugs are medications used to treat complex or rare conditions, like cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, or multiple sclerosis. They are often high-cost, require special handling or administration, and may need careful monitoring. These drugs are typically produced in specialized facilities and are not available at regular pharmacies. Because of their complexity and expense, they often require insurance pre-approval and support programs to help patients access and manage them effectively. Despite their challenges, they play a crucial role in managing illnesses that have limited treatment options.
