Pharmacy
A team of six oncology certified pharmacists are on staff in our cancer center. Before compounding, our pharmacists complete a 20 step checklist for each patient getting treatment to ensure safety and accuracy. After compounding, both pharmacists and nurses complete detailed safety and accuracy checks before administering meds. Pharmacists conduct patient education on oral chemo regimens, drug/drug interactions and medication reconciliation. We also have an on-site lab where lab work can be drawn and results reviewed by the physician, enabling prompt treatment of the patient.
As of 2020, a Prescription Delivery Service for our patients. Most medicines prescribed by your oncologist: oral oncolytics (chemo and immunotherapy) and supportive care medications (antinausea, etc.) can be filled. Most prescriptions are delivered directly to you at the Manderson Cancer Center, or if needed, mailed to your home. We will collect your copay when services are rendered. We accept cash or debit/ credit cards when we deliver your prescriptions. If our pharmacy is unable to fill your prescription, we will help you in find the best place to get your prescription. We will still provide medication assistance and personal consultations.
