Hospital/Clinic

Local. Independent. Private. Safe.We created Appalachian Specialty Pharmacy to serve patients with complex medical conditions often requiring specialized medicines. We believe that the more you know as a patient the better your experience in treating your condition will be. Our job is to create a true team made up of you, your significant supporters and caregivers, your doctors and your pharmacist. Together we can make your health care work for you. Knowing why you were prescribed a medicine and how that medicine works is an important part of patient education. Knowing how that medicine should be taken and what interactions with food and other drugs is key to getting the most out of your drug therapy. Knowing which potential side effects may occur can help you recognize if the medicine is working right for you. A pharmacist is often the only member of a patient's health care team that sees the whole picture of the patient's situation. A pharmacist may see duplicated medicines prescribed unknowingly by different doctors, medicines that work against each other cancelling out any benefit from either drug, potentially harmful medications, and even prescriptions mistakes. A pharmacist is uniquely trained to evaluate a patient's medications in order to streamline and maximize their effectiveness. Getting to that level of maximum performance of drug therapy is key to improving patient health.Our practice is designed around these ideas of communication and connection in order to make your life better. If we can make your drug therapy work they way it is designed, if we can help solve insurance and payment issues, and if we can synchronize your prescriptions so that they are all refilled and ready at the same time...we can help you and your caregivers live your best life now.
