Approximately one-third of all Americans suffer from a form of chronic pain that lasts three months or more and can be difficult to control. In fact, it is the main cause of disability in adults in the U.S. Whether you have acute or chronic pain, your quality of life depends on good pain management.
Chronic pain for conditions such as arthritis, migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, or nerve conditions may require regular medications. Unfortunately, some pain medications can result in unwanted side effects and may upset your stomach, cause dizziness, or leave you feeling drowsy.
Acute pain often results from an injury. Acute pain sufferers may even have more than one injury that requires treatment. Pain medications must work well with other prescriptions so the patient can heal as quickly as possible and get back on the road to recovery.
Some oral pain medications can be customized into many different forms and delivery methods through a compounded prescription. For example by using topical preparations such as creams, gels, or sprays, the medication can be applied directly to the skin where it is absorbed locally, therefore, avoiding the gastrointestinal tract with a reduced incidence of systemic adverse effects, such as a peptic ulcer or GI bleed.
Compounding also allows the pharmacist to combine several compatible medications into one single dose making the administration of medication easier and less confusing.
