What Are Specialty Medications?
Specialty medications are therapies prescribed to patients who have chronic medical conditions
Patients taking these may need to see their healthcare provider on a regular basis and have one-on-one counseling and education over the phone
What Are Specialty Pharmacies?
Specialty pharmacies handle and store specialty medications, and they typically send patients their prescriptions through the mail
Your healthcare provider can either send your prescription to Pfizer Dermatology Patient Access™ and enroll you in the program or they can send it directly to a specialty pharmacy
If your prescription is sent directly to a specialty pharmacy, you’ll be contacted to provide some information and complete a few steps
