At Brigent Specialty Pharmacy, we are committed to partnering with caregivers and physicians to deliver the highest quality of care possible, regardless of the patient’s condition. Our team of pharmacists works closely with the patient’s healthcare team to preserve the dignity of each patient and support their family members.

We offer a customized plan that incorporates each patient’s needs across diet, medications, and care preferences. Our pharmacists will work directly with the provider and share guidance on proper medication management for each patient. This ensures patients receive the medication they need to recover and live a comfortable lifestyle.

Brigent Specialty Pharmacy offers the following hospice pharmacy services:

Customizable Pain Medication. For hospice patients, commercial strengths of pain medicine often aren’t strong enough. Our team of pharmacists is able to create a customized pain medication strength so that each patient experiences the maximum level of comfort possible during hospice care.
Transdermal Dosage Forms. Patients may prefer transdermal medication to painful injections. In addition, some patients have difficulty swallowing their medicines. Transdermal doses minimize the nausea that comes with taking certain oral medications.
Flavorings. Hospice patients may have an aversion to certain tastes, such as sweetness. Our team of compound pharmacists can make the preparations palatable for them.
Unavailable Medications. The ongoing drug shortage in the modern health care system has created a demand for compounded medication. Brigent Specialty Pharmacy can prepare the medications for each patient from raw ingredients.
Combination Preparations. Multiple medications can be combined into a single dosage form, such as a transdermal gel, suppository, or capsule. This helps simplify the medication administration schedule, easing the burden for family caregivers, hospice providers, and patients.

Brigent Specialty Pharmacy strives to play a key role in all aspects of home health care. This not only gives us more insight into each patient’s needs, but also improves the overall quality of care.

Using advanced technology and state-of-the-art equipment, our team of compounding pharmacists formulates personalized medication for each patient receiving home health care. Contact us today to learn more about our approach.
