Beyond Growth Hormone Deficiency treatment: Patient care. Convenience. Consideration.
At BioScrip®, we are dedicated to providing specialty medication to people who need growth hormone treatment. Medications used for growth hormone deficiency are given by injection which can be difficult and scary at first. Your BioScrip pharmacist is an expert in growth hormone treatment and can help you learn how to prepare your or your child’s dose and injection site, safely administer the injection, and manage any reactions that occur where you injected the medication.
Coordinating all of your medications through one pharmacy enables your pharmacist to identify and potentially prevent interactions or side effects that may occur due to medication mixing, health conditions or previous health history.
BioScrip Pharmacy services for growth hormone treatment include:
- Product Availability and Delivery
Your local pharmacy may not consistently stock growth hormone medications, or be able to order in time for when you need the medication. At BioScrip, we specialize and stock these medications. Pick up your prescriptions at a nearby BioScrip Pharmacy, or ask about mail delivery of your specialty medications to your home, work or healthcare provider.
