Specialty pharmaceuticals are a category of medications that are typically used to treat complex or rare medical conditions. These drugs often require special handling, administration, or monitoring, and they may be more expensive than traditional medications. Examples of conditions treated with specialty pharmaceuticals include cancer, multiple sclerosis, and HIV. Due to their complexity, specialty pharmaceuticals are often distributed through specialized pharmacies rather than regular retail pharmacies. Patients may need to work closely with healthcare providers and pharmacists to manage their treatment effectively. This ensures that they receive the necessary support and resources for their specific health needs.
