Is Lupkynis a limited distribution drug?
Lupkynis (voclosporin) is an expensive drug that has limited distribution, meaning you will receive this medicine from a specialty pharmacy, not your local pharmacy. Specialty drugs may be mailed to your house. A specialty pharmacy can help you access the medicine if prescribed by your doctor, answer insurance questions, and monitor for the drug’s safety and effectiveness.
