At Sweetgrass Pharmacy & Compounding, we are dedicated to providing compassionate and customized palliative care solutions for patients with serious or terminal illnesses.
Our goal is to improve the quality of life for patients and their families by addressing symptoms and enhancing comfort through personalized medications.
Palliative care focuses on relieving symptoms and stress associated with serious illnesses.
It is provided alongside curative treatments to help manage pain, nausea, anxiety, and other symptoms. Our compounding pharmacy can play a crucial role in creating tailored medications to meet the unique needs of each palliative care patient.
Patients receiving palliative care often experience a range of symptoms that may be managed with compounded medications, including:
- Pain
- Nausea and vomiting
- Anxiety and depression
- Shortness of breath
- Fatigue
- Constipation
- Insomnia
- Loss of appetite
Compounded Medications in Palliative Care Can Provide:
- Personalized Formulations: Medications can be customized to the specific needs of each patient. Medications can also be adjusted during treatment to address changes in symptoms.
- Variety of Dosage Forms: Compounded medications are available in various forms such as oral liquids, topical creams, transdermal gels, suppositories, and more, helping to make administration easier and possibly more comfortable.
- Combination Therapies: Multiple compatible medications can be combined into a single dosage form to simplify the treatment regimen and help improve compliance.
- Flavor Customization: Medications can be flavored to help improve palatability, which is especially important for patients with difficulty swallowing or aversions to certain tastes.
