ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. — BioPlus Specialty Pharmacy has expanded its patient support program in the hopes of easing the difficulties patients face when they undergo cancer treatment. Oncology therapy patients at the specialty pharmacy now receive a Therapy Comfort Care Kit that contains items to make the therapy process less uncomfortable.
“A cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming and the treatment can be challenging, so our Therapy Comfort Care Kit is a hands-on way that we support our cancer patients as they enter and continue the treatment process,” BioPlus VP specialty pharmacy services Nick Maroulis said.
The kit includes sunscreen, hand lotion, hand sanitizer, non-slip socks, Biotene mouth rinse for dry mouth and a stress ball.
