Common symptoms include pain, nausea/vomiting, constipation, dry mouth, bedsores and anxiety. Along with these difficult issues, hospice patients usually experience an inability to swallow. This makes taking necessary medications almost impossible.

Through compounding, pharmacists can work with the physician to formulate medications customized to the unique needs of the hospice patient giving relief to both patient and loved ones.
