Many patients have difficulty taking
or do not respond adequately to commercially available
medications. Compounding allows the staff at Scott's HealthMart Pharmacy to prepare customized medications to fit your individual
needs. By working with your physician we can prepare medications
in a variety of forms and tastes that are not available
from pharmaceutical manufactures.
Nausea
At Scott's HealthMart Pharmacy
in Macon, Ga we understand that those individuals
under hospice care often times are extremely
nauseated either due to their disease, condition,
or medications. In addition to providing commercial
anti-emetics (medications that treat nausea)
we also customize a number of products that have
really helped many people with nausea and vomiting.

Dosage forms include:

Wound
Healing
Many individuals under hospice care
have chronic wounds. We also compound products
for this condition as well.
•
We
can customize medications that can help
various chronic wounds
•
We can also add
antibiotics and analgesics to these products
because often times wounds are accompanied
by pain and infection.
Oral
Lesions
The immune system of individuals
under hospice can often times be compromised.
This allows infections to develop that would
not normally occur in otherwise healthy people.
Many times these infections occur in the mouth
and form lesions or ulcers. These ulcers can
be the result of yeast, viruses, bacteria, or
fungus. At Scott's HealthMart Pharmacy in Macon, Ga we
customize various mouth rinses that are very
effective at treating these ulcers.
Other
Issues
We also customize products for dry
skin and dry mouth.
