PROCHLORPERAZINE/ONDANSETRON COMPOUND
FOR NAUSEA AND VOMITING
Nausea and vomiting can be difficult to manage and can cause hospice patients to suffer unnecessarily. Often, commercially available medications are sub-optimal in treating these unpleasant symptoms. Advance Care Pharmacy is proud to announce the availability of a compounded rectal preparation that can be individually prepared for your patients, following receipt of a valid prescription. The formula is a combination of two anti-nausea medications, that when used together offer additive effects. PROCHLORPERAZINE 25MG/ONDANSETRON 4MG SUPPOSITORIES (Compazine/Zofran) are effective in treating refractory nausea and vomiting and are dosed every 8 hours as needed for symptom management. Each suppository costs $4.50.
PROCHLORPERAZINE 25MG/ONDANSERON 4MG should be considered in patients with nausea and vomiting that is not relieved with first line agents. Nausea and vomiting can prevent a patient from eating, drinking, and other daily activities and can lead to weight loss, dehydration, and depression. The benefits of the compounded prochlorperazine/ ondansetron combination suppository include improving the quality of life in a hospice patient’s final days.
