When standard pain relief isn't enough
Arthritis, migraines, diabetic neuropathy, and fibromyalgia are among the conditions we compound for.
Pain can be acute and short-lived, such as a headache or muscle strain caused by a work or sports injury. Sometimes remedies like analgesics or a heating pad may suffice.
Other times, acute pain evolves into chronic pain — pain that returns when the treatment wears off. There are many people who live with debilitating, continually painful conditions like arthritis, migraines, diabetic neuropathy, and fibromyalgia.
Compounded medications are used to help relieve pain, and a compounded medication prescribed by your physician may be one of several methods used to treat it.
Compounded pain medications may alleviate
Unwanted side effects
Custom formulations can reduce the systemic side effects of standard medications.
Non-compliance
Easier-to-use forms and flavors help patients stay consistent with treatment.

Alternate delivery methods can replace oral medications that are hard to take.
