Sports Medicine Compounding

Make sure your active, healthy lifestyle stays that way!

Sports activities and fitness programs are customized to meet an athlete’s individual needs.  Why not do the same with medication?

Pro football teams rely on topical compounds to help them recover from game aches.  Pitchers recover from inflammation to their throwing shoulder with the help of compounds.  Pharmacy compounding is available to everyone – not just the pros.

 

Working in conjunction with your healthcare provider, whether you are a workout enthusiast who needs to soothe aches and pains, a high school player recovering from injury, or a weekend warrior, compounding can provide serious benefits for you.

Some examples of Sports Medicine compounding:

• Muscle Aches and Pains
• Inflammation
• Nerve Pain
• Topical Antifungal Medications
• Blister and Callus Cream
• Heel Spur Cream

Capsules and tablets taken orally must pass through a patient’s digestive tract before making their way into the system.  For anti-inflammatories and muscle relaxants, this can result in gastrointestinal side effects.  Topical medications allow the drug to bypass the gastrointestinal tract and potentially minimize those side effects.  By treating the pain at its trigger point, relief and recovery can be strengthened.
