Hospice Compounding
Providing Personalized Compounding For Hospice Patients
Citrus Valley Pharmacists understand the difficulties most patients and their loved ones face during the final stages of terminal illness. Our role in the hospice environment is to relieve and manage the symptoms of these individuals and offer them comfort, using pharmacy compounding. Compounding can ensure that the patient is receiving personalized care specific to their needs.
Although symptoms can vary from person to person, compounded medication may be the ideal way to ease and manage these symptoms:
- Pain
- Nausea/Vomiting
- Constipation
- Diarrhea
- Bedsores
- Anxiety
Advantages of Compounding Medication
While commercially available medications don’t provide the exact strengths the patient requires, compounding medication can be adjusted to offer the patient the exact dosage their body needs.
For patients who are unable to swallow compounding medication orally, pharmacists can prepare it in the form of a lotion to be applied over the skin. This will provide relief to the patient while avoiding nausea or stomach pain.
The medication can also be prepared as suppositories, oral liquids, or even as lollipops to meet the needs of every patient. Other patients might try flavored lozenges or rapid-dissolve tablets that melt in the mouth.
Citrus Valley Pharmacy eases the stress of caring for a hospice patient by working with both a caring prescriber and a compounding pharmacist to provide every patient with medicine that’s tailored for their specific needs.

What Our Patients Say
After calling and asking if a few questions I had all my prescriptions switched over to this pharmacy. The staff here are exceptionally kind, friendly and very efficient. Definitely deserving of five stars!
First time using this pharmacy as I needed a RX filled for my sick child. I despise the large chain pharmacies and prefer the smaller family owned ones. From the moment we walked in, everyone greeted us and made us feel welcome...
My favorite pharmacy, there's so much to say about the pharmacy. For one thing, the pharmacist, Chad, takes the time to know each patient individually. He accommodates your needs and makes sure you're well...
Fast, friendly and safe. It's a drive thru. You pick up test, administer it yourself while parked. Then you return it to personnel and your done!
Staff is very friendly - they all provide excellent customer service.
Aww I loved them. So inviting, sincere...you must get out of brand pharmacies.
