Inflammation is a symptom of many chronic conditions, including asthma, autoimmune disorders, and type 2 diabetes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Specialty medications are prescribed for complex, chronic, and rare conditions for many different disease states, including oncology, neurology, and inflammatory conditions. They have specific storage, dispensing, and care requirements. These medications can be challenging to take if they need to be administered by injection or infusion. Some specialty medications may also cause certain side effects that require close monitoring. Due to these challenges, only specialty pharmacies can fill specialty medications under the supervision of trained pharmacists. The Glens Falls Hospital Specialty Pharmacy’s team of experts is here to help you understand your medications and manage your treatment journey.

To begin your treatment, your provider will send your prescription directly to the Glens Falls Hospital Specialty Pharmacy.

Our team will call you to let you know when it is time for a refill. We work to make your therapy journey as convenient as possible.

Specialty medications can be expensive. Our staff is here to help you navigate prescription insurance and manage medication costs. We will call your insurance provider to confirm your benefits.
