Medications Available to Hospice Patients

Hospice patients have access to a wide range of medications to help manage symptoms and improve their quality of life. The types of medications used will depend on the patient’s individual needs and symptoms. Here are some of the medications that may be available to hospice patients:

Pain medications

Hospice patients may be prescribed pain medications to help manage pain associated with their condition. These medications can include opioids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and other types of pain relievers.

Anti-anxiety medications

Hospice patients may experience anxiety related to their condition or other factors. Anti-anxiety medications such as benzodiazepines may be used to help manage these symptoms.

Anti-nausea medications

Hospice patients who experience nausea or vomiting may be prescribed anti-nausea medications to help manage these symptoms.

Antidepressants

Hospice patients may experience depression related to their condition or other factors. Antidepressants may be used to help manage these symptoms.

Antibiotics

Hospice patients who develop infections may be prescribed antibiotics to help treat the infection.

Other medications

Hospice patients may be prescribed other medications as needed to manage specific symptoms or conditions. These may include medications to treat constipation, insomnia, or other symptoms.

It is important to note that hospice care focuses on symptom management and improving quality of life, rather than cure. National Hospice team works closely with patients and their families to ensure that medications are used appropriately and that patients receive the care and support they need to manage their symptoms and maintain comfort.
