Central Ohio Compounding Pharmacy's ultimate goal
in preparing customized medications is to help the physician and
patient achieve a more positive therapeutic outcome. This
relationship of patient-physician-pharmacist is especially true in
treating hospice patients.
Hospice Objectives:
- Control Pain and/or Nausea
- Wound Therapy
- Inhalation Therapy
- Radiation Burns
- Saliva Stimulants
- Intractable Hiccups
- Manage Symptoms
- Improve patients overall quality of life
With good communication between caregivers/healthcare providers
and patients, we as compounding pharmacists can have a better
understanding of treatment goals and how best to help the patient
through customized medication.
Some customized medications made in alternative dosing
forms:
Pain medications-topical creams, rectal, oral, capsules or
nasal sprays
Nausea medications-topical creams or rectal
Radiation burns-frozen popsicles or mouth rinses
Saliva stimulants-lozenges or mouth rinses
At Central Ohio Compounding Pharmacy we can often times
customize the medication so the hospice patient is comfortable
during the day to visit with their loved ones and can sleep at
night. Let us know how we can help.
