I'm using the "pen". I used the Humira "pen" when I was on Humira.
The "pen" is easy to use and obtain from the mail order pharmacy.
The prescription process is as follows:
1) Patient sees his referring Physician (in my case a dermatologist)
2) Physician contacts a Taltz specialty pharmacy with patient information and prescription for Taltz treatment.
3) Taltz specialty pharmacy contacts patient for patient information (some patients aren't suitable for Taltz treatment).
4) Pharmacy checks with patient insurance carrier for coverage.
5) Pharmacy sends patient Taltz information treatment regimen.
6) Patient and pharmacy discuss and agree to begin treatment regimen.
7) First dose is delivered by FEDEX in refrigerated shipping carton as are all doses.
8) Patient begins Taltz treatment with pre-measured dose in a special delivery system ie: "pen".
9) Pharmacy remains in contact with patient by making weekly phone calls.
10) Taltz remains in contact with patient by making monthly phone calls.
