Giannotto’s Specialty Pharmacy continues the synergy established between patient and pharmacist.
Together with pharmaceutical manufacturers, physicians, and patients, we work to provide better access to medicinal therapies. Patients with chronic illnesses are then provided access to high-cost complex drug regimens. In doing so, we exceed industry standards for compliance and consistency.
As we work closely with pharmaceutical manufacturers, Giannotto’s has created a system that includes:
REMS Program Participation
We are proud to implement the FDA’s drug safety program known as Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy, or REMS, for controlled medications like Spravato. Pharmacists who dispense these medicines play a key role in ensuring that products with serious risks requiring REMS are dispensed and used safely. Working with a REMS program medication requires our pharmacy to follow highly specified procedures. These may vary for different medications but can include completing special training, verifying safe use conditions, providing counseling, and/or patient education materials. All of the is completed in an effort to help ensure the benefits of the medication outweigh its risks.
To find out more, please visit the FDA.gov site on REMS Programs
