Patient Pain Management Compounding Services
Chronic pain may have several complex causes and, therefore, difficult to manage. Pain management requires collaboration between you, your doctor, and your pharmacist to approach and customize a treatment to meet your specific needs.
Optimal treatment could involve medications with pain-relieving properties including anti-depressants, anticonvulsants antiarrhythmics, anesthetics nmda (n-methyl-d-aspartate) antagonists e.g. dextromethorphan and ketamine to can block pain transmission in the dorsal horn spinal neurons thus reduce nociception and decrease need for opioid analgesics.
Physicians can use smaller amounts of each medication when combined to alleviate pain. We can formulate NSAIDs as a topical to avoid problems associated with the oral route.
We work with patients and their pain doctors to provide required pain management. The dosage forms we typically make are tablet triturates, solutions, suspensions, creams, gels, and suppositories.
Advantages of Topicals as drug delivery systems in Pain Management
Most of our pain management compounds are topicals, which can be applied directly to the skin and thus targeting the site of pain and discomfort.
- A higher concentration of medicine is delivered to the site of action
- A smaller amount finds its way to other body areas
- Reduction in systemic side-effects versus the oral route
- Avoidance of drug interaction in the stomach
- Flexibility in amounts and types of each medication
- Tailored to each patient’s needs
- Convenient for the elderly and young
