What is a Specialty Pharmacy?
Specialty pharmacies provide complex and sometimes costly medications, which require special storage and handling. These medications may not be available at your local pharmacy. Medications may be injected, taken by mouth, or infused. Sometimes, these medications have side effects that require monitoring by a trained pharmacist.
Our goal at the Reading Hospital Ambulatory Pharmacy is to provide patients with access to these medications, as well as excellent customer service and clinical support. The specialty pharmacy services we offer are available to patients throughout southeastern and central Pennsylvania.
