Our goal is to act as your dedicated partner, working alongside you and your neurologist to reduce the frequency of relapses, delay physical disability, and improve your overall quality of life.

Specialist Supervision for Advanced MS Therapies

The landscape of MS treatment has expanded significantly, offering a variety of administration routes including oral tablets, self-injections, and infusions. Each of these requires expert clinical oversight to ensure safety and maximum efficacy.

Our Clinical Role in Your MS Journey:

• DMT Selection & Guidance:We provide in-depth education on the specific DMT prescribed for you, whether it’s an injectable like Copaxone, an oral medication like Gilenya or Aubagio, or a high-efficacy biologic like Kesimpta.
• Injection Training:For patients using self-injectable therapies, our pharmacists provide one-on-one training sessions to ensure you are comfortable with the technique, rotation sites, and device operation.
• Safety & Monitoring:Many MS medications require baseline and ongoing monitoring, such as blood tests or eye exams. We coordinate with your neurology team to ensure these safety checks are completed on schedule.
• Managing “First-Dose” Protocols:For certain oral medications that require initial observation, we assist in coordinating the logistics to ensure your first dose is administered safely under medical supervision.

Living with MS involves managing more than just a prescription. Hillside Specialty Pharmacy offers a specialized support system designed to remove the stress of medication management.

• Identify Funding:We connect eligible patients with manufacturer co-pay cards and independent foundation grants (such as the MS Foundation or PAN Foundation) to minimize out-of-pocket costs.

2. Adherence & Symptom Management

Consistency is the most vital factor in preventing MS relapses. We provide:

• Refill Management:We proactively contact you before you run out of medication, ensuring you never miss a dose.
