Re: My new specialty pharmacy

[Guest guest]

No, but I had seen something on the Net or in an ad that said something about

Walgreen's specialty pharmacy. I'm getting old and cannot remember where I see

or hear some things--I just know I have heard (seen) it somewhere. It will be

interesting to see what their charge is.

I didn't know that Walgreens had one. Anyone else get their Xolair

from Walgreens?

>Hi,

I got switched to the Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy a couple of months

ago. I'm paying @40.00 per treatment, and I go for injections every

two weeks. So far, they've been fine.

I also have a $30 copay for every office visit.

Best,

Jackie

A year ago at this time (almost to the day) my pulmo and I agreed that

I would go on Xolair.

It took several weeks of wrangling (mostly to get a nurse to train me

at home) and during that search period I came across Walgreen's

specialty pharmacy. I talked to the pharmacist directly and he did say

something about their specialty pharmacy having it and gave me forms to

fill out. I never did go through with the Walgreen's pharmacy because

Cura Script **finally** got the medication and shipped it to me.

Currently it's shipped to my house which is very handy but I'm always

concerned about it because the drivers do not follow directions and

neither does CuraScript. I don't want to go through the hassle of

changing pharmacies and neither does the doc so I'm continuing on with

CuraScript.

At one time a family member was on Copaxone for MS. The nurse

who " trained " him at home on the injections said " oh, no, you can't buy

this at a drugstore - this is very specialized " but sure enough, about

2 months later I found it at Walgreens (regular drug store near our

home) and bought it there.

Sometimes healthcare providers do not know all the options re specialty

pharmacies.
