Preparing for RINVOQ with RINVOQ Complete

A special medicine requires a Specialty Pharmacy

RINVOQ is a specialty medicine, which means it may require additional insurance approvals, monitoring such as blood tests, and specific shipping. 

It also means you will need to get RINVOQ from a specialty pharmacy.

Retail vs Specialty Pharmacies

While all pharmacies can fill prescriptions, specialty pharmacies are different from retail pharmacies.
