Unlike other medications that you can pick up at your local pharmacy, ERLEADA is a specialty pharmacy medication. Specialty pharmacies carry medicines not available at retail pharmacies and may offer personalized support, education, and insurance coordination.

If your doctor has a pharmacy on site, you may be able to pick up your prescription there. An in-office pharmacy may be considered a specialty pharmacy if it has medications for serious health conditions, like cancer.

If an in-office pharmacy is not available, your doctor’s office will complete the necessary paperwork and submit it on your behalf to a specialty pharmacy. You can expect to hear from the specialty pharmacy within 24 hours from when they receive the prescription from your doctor. Note that your doctor may not send it right away. If you don’t hear back within a week, be sure to reach out to your doctor. Be on the lookout for a call from the specialty pharmacy—they can’t fill your prescription unless they speak with you directly. The specialty pharmacy may call from an unknown number or one you don’t recognize.
