  • Compounded Pain Management Alternatives

    Don’t let chronic pain keep you from enjoying life.

    Everyone experiences some sort of pain in their lives. It can take the form of a stress-induced headache, a muscle group strained from sports activities, or be the result of an injury at work or an automobile accident. For some, pain can be chronic in nature and something they live with on a daily basis.


    Pain is the most common reason for which individuals seek medical help.

    Acute pain can easily evolve into chronic pain which can become difficult to treat. Many commonly prescribed, commercially available pain relief medications help the symptoms associated with chronic conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, migraine headaches, and other nerve and muscle pain, but they can also result in unwanted side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, or stomach irritation. Many patients taking these medications come to accept these conditions as part of daily life, but they may find a better solution through pharmacy compounding.


    Compounding offers personalized pain relief.

    Make sure your active, healthy lifestyle stays that way.

    All positions in pro-basketball rely upon topical compounds to help them recover from game aches. Major league pitchers recover from inflammation to the throwing shoulder more quickly due to topical agents prepared by compounding pharmacists working in conjunction with team healthcare providers. The secret they use to get back in the game is pharmacy compounding, and it’s available for everyone – not just the pros.

    Whether you are into exercise and need to soothe aches and strains, an employee who is trying to recover from a work injury, or a weekend warrior trying to ease pain during the week, compounding can provide serious benefits for every kind of individual.


    Unique Needs and Injuries, Individual Medication

    Pharmacy compounding is the art and science of preparing customized medications for patients. In recent years, compounding has experienced a renaissance as modern technology and innovative techniques and research allow healthcare providers to work with pharmacists to customize medications so their patients benefit from medications tailored specifically to certain needs.

    Sports activities and fitness programs focus upon an athlete’s strengths and are customized to meet his or her individual needs. So why not do the same with medication needs?

    A compounding pharmacist may be able to combine various drugs into a single dosage form to combat nerve pain, customize topical antifungal medications, or formulate special preparations to heal blisters or calluses.

    Compounded sun block creams, lotions, and lip balms may help protect athletes participating in outdoor sports.

    Working closely with both the patient and a healthcare provider, compounding allows pharmacists to prepare medication in strengths and delivery systems that are just right for that individual's particular body, for the ultimate in therapy.


    Strength Variations

    Just like a football player and an injured worker require different therapy programs, their body types may require different amounts of medication to speed recovery or treat muscle pain. Yet commercially available products often come in a limited variety of strengths. Compounding offers a way to calibrate the exact amount of medication to a certain need and body type, resulting in more accurate dosing.


    Unique Dosage Forms

    Another important benefit is the compounding pharmacist’s ability to alter the delivery system of medications. Capsules and tablets taken orally must pass through a patient’s digestive tract before making their way into the system. For anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants and other medications, this can result in undesired and potentially limiting side effects. Topical medications allow the drug to bypass the gastrointestinal tract and potentially minimize those side effects. A compounding pharmacist can prepare custom topical creams, transdermal gels or solutions that may not be commercially available. By treating the pain at its trigger point, relief and recovery can be strengthened.

    Personalized prescription compounding may be just what you need to get back in action!
