Hospice / Palliative Care

At Medimix Compound Pharmacy in Langley, we believe that comfort and dignity should remain a priority—even when curative treatment is no longer an option. Our palliative care compounding services are designed to help manage distressing symptoms associated with serious and terminal illnesses, supporting both patients and their loved ones through every stage of care.

Our compounding pharmacists work closely with physicians, hospice teams, caregivers, and families to provide personalized medication solutions that enhance quality of life during palliative or end-of-life care.

Symptom Relief Through Custom Compounding

Palliative care often requires tailored medications that are not available commercially. We prepare a wide range of customized formulations to relieve symptoms such as:

• Pain and discomfort

• Nausea and vomiting

• Dry mouth (xerostomia) and stomatitis

• Excessive pulmonary secretions (“death rattle”)

• Radiation-induced mucositis or proctitis

• Wound care and infection prevention

• Dyspnea (shortness of breath)

Common Palliative Compounds We Provide:

• ABHR gel or troches (Ativan®, Benadryl®, Haldol®, Reglan®)

• Cholestyramine ointment (for skin irritation)

• Dextromethorphan (cough and neurological symptoms)

• Hydrocodone (without acetaminophen)

• Lidocaine-Tetracaine spray (topical anesthetic relief)

• Metoclopramide (as nasal spray or suppository)

• Misoprostol (oral or suppository form)

• Morphine transdermal preparations

• Pilocarpine (in gel, lozenge/lollipop, or sustained-release form for dry mouth)

• Promethazine gel

• Sucralfate oral adhesive paste, cream, and enemas

• Short-chain fatty acid enemas

Personalized Care When It Matters Most

We understand the importance of compassionate, responsive service in palliative situations. Whether it’s formulating a medication in a more tolerable form (like topical gels, suppositories, troches, or transdermal patches), or combining multiple medications into one dosage form for easier administration, our compounding solutions are tailored to the specific needs of each patient.
