Pain Management

At our high-quality accredited pharmacy we make customized pain medications with multiple effective ingredients. We offer compounded medications for both acute and chronic pain in creams, gels, capsules, sprays and more. There are different kinds of pain and each requires a unique treatment.

​

Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)

Low dose naltrexone (LDN) is a promising new treatment option for a variety of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. There is a growing body of evidence that the body’s endorphins (naturally occurring opioids) have a critical role in regulating the immune system. Administering LDN between 9 and 11 p.m. blocks opioid receptors for several hours during sleep, setting off a “rebound” effect that is unique to the lower dose. Naltrexone has been found to be effective in doses of 1.5mg to 4.5mg in preliminary studies.

Topical Pain Medication

 

Topical pain medications have a much lower risk of side effects compared to oral medications because of their low absorption into the blood stream. When applied to an area of injury they provide localized relief without systemic effects. Dizziness, nausea, and drowsiness are all possible symptoms of oral pain medication that can be avoided by using a cream, gel, or spray. For patients with chronic pain conditions this can be especially beneficial as they may already be taking several oral medications.

Depending on the patient and the type of pain being treated, multiple ingredients in different strengths can be made into one cream or gel. Ketoprofen is an NSAID that decreases the sensitivity of pain receptors. NSAIDs are good for treating fibromyalgia pain and osteoarthritis.
 Gabapentin and lidocaine are sodium and glutamate blockers that diminish pain transmission in damaged neurons and work well for neuropathic and inflammatory pain.
