What is a Specialty Pharmacy?
A specialty pharmacy provides complex and sometimes costly medications, that may require special storage and handling. These medications may not be available at your local pharmacy. The medications may be injected, taken by mouth, or infused. Sometimes, these medications have side effects that require monitoring by a trained pharmacist. Reading Hospital Pharmacy focuses on providing these medications with excellent customer service and clinical support.
