Cancer

Medicines for cancer aren’t always delivered through an IV in a clinic. Some cancer treatments are taken in pill form at home. Many of these medicines have strict guidelines to follow for when the medicine is to be delivered. Because of their costs, these medicines also require careful monitoring from the point when they’re prescribed, to their delivery to your home, to when they’re used by you, and for follow up on any signs of side effects.

HIV/AIDS

While there remains no cure for AIDS, your doctor can choose from several medications that delay the progression of HIV, allowing you to live an otherwise healthy life. Because these medications carry certain side effects and can be affected by other medicines and foods you eat, we work closely to monitor how the medicine is working in your system.
