Beyond Osteoarthritis treatment: Patient care. Convenience. Consideration.

At BioScrip®, we are dedicated to treating osteoarthritis by providing specialty medications to people living with the condition. Careful attention is required for people taking specialty medications for osteoarthritis since treatment options may have serious side effects and, without proper monitoring, they may present additional risk. 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.

• Delivery
  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.
  
• Benefits Coordination
