In-Office Dispensary
Affiliated Oncologists offers In-Office Dispensing at our Chicago Ridge location for the convenience of our patients and staff. Our In-Office Dispensary stocks all of the most widely used oral cancer treatment medications, some of which many pharmacies do not carry. The pharmacy staff has in-depth knowledge of these medications and drug interactions and are available to review medications with each patient.
Our licensed pharmacy technicians are trained in the handling and preparation of cancer related drugs and serve an important role on the patient’s care team because much of cancer treatment is achieved with infused and oral medications. Supportive care drugs are also used to prevent and manage side effects to maintain patient comfort during the course of treatment.
