Compounded Medications for Palliative Care

Among the greatest therapeutic challenges faced by both patients and caregivers is the treatment required by individuals who have a terminal condition. End-of-life care is multifaceted and people with a terminal illness are among the most vulnerable patients in need of effective and compassionate care. When those patients suffer in spite of commercially available therapies, the innovation and experience of clinicians and compounding pharmacists can often yield a solution to the most challenging treatment problems. Compounds are often used in outpatient hospice and palliative care to treat common conditions such as ulcers/wounds, pain and dyspnea, intractable cough, nausea and vomiting, depression, bladder infections caused by an indwelling catheter, and rectal pain.

Ask our pharmacist for more information. We work together with patients and their doctors, then formulate creams, gels, and lotions using the highest quality bases that have been industry-tested for chemical compatibility, creating preparations that are elegant and easy to use.
