Patients

Overview

Specialty drugs are prescription medications that require special handling, administration or monitoring. Benzer specialty pharmacy has a team of experts that understands the complexity of these medications and will help you achieve the best outcome. We offer specialized pharmacy care for patients diagnosed with chronic or complex health conditions such as HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C, Cancer, Multiple Sclerosis, Psoriasis, and Rheumatoid Arthritis among others.

Refill reminders

Worried about running out of medications? Do you always forget to order your refills? Leave that to us. Benzer Specialty Pharmacy will have one of our Patient Care Coordinators reach out to you at the right time to schedule your next refill. Taking medication incorrectly or forgetting to take it ​are two of the main reasons patients get readmitted to hospitals. We are trying to change this through our refill reminder program.
