Defining Specialty Pharmaceuticals

Specialty pharmaceuticals are products used to treat chronic, high-cost or rare diseases that often require injectable, infusible, oral or inhaled medications.  Specialty pharmaceuticals are typically more complex to maintain, administer and monitor when compared to traditional drugs and may require closer supervision and monitoring of individual therapy. They typically require frequent dosage adjustments, special storage and handling, and periodic laboratory or diagnostic testing.
