After your doctor prescribes Novoeight®, you’ll get your factor from a specialty pharmacy distributor, hemophilia home care agency, or a hemophilia treatment center.

Why specialty pharmacies?

Insurance providers use specialty pharmacies because they generally have sophisticated systems to handle the complexities of factor therapy for people with hemophilia. Your needs may vary greatly from patients who use traditional retail pharmacies or mail-order pharmacies.
