Pain is one of the most common reasons we seek medical care, and managing it effectively can make a world of difference in your daily life. At Blue Ridge Apothecary we understand that every patient experiences pain differently. That’s why we specialize in preparing customized pain management solutions. Our compounded medications offer an alternative to one-size-fits-all options, focusing on helping patients in their journey toward relief.
Who Can Benefit?
Patients experiencing acute or chronic pain can benefit from our services. This includes those recovering from injuries, managing arthritis, living with nerve pain, or dealing with other unpleasant conditions. For example, our pain management solutions offer the following advantages:
- Customized Formulations: tailored to meet your specific needs
- Variety of Forms: such as creams, ointments, suppositories, or liquid formations to facilitate appropriate dosing/application
- Allergy/Chemical Sensitivities: offending excipients are removed from a formulation
- Specific Clinical Situations: such as individuals who have gastrointestinal issues–we can formulate products in penetration-enhancing creams which bypass the GI tract – you get more of the medicine where you need it and less where you don’t.
Common Ingredients/Formulations
Our most common pain products are creams which are specifically designed to deliver medications directly to the damaged areas. The potential active ingredients can include a wide range of options such as NSAIDs, numbing agents, and nerve pain blockers. Because these agents are delivered directly to the site of injury, you get more of the medicine where you need it and less where you don’t .
In addition to our topical products, we can also formulate other custom solutions such as:
- Suppositories
- Oral medications adjusted for precise dosages
- Medications without dyes or preservatives for patients with sensitivities
- Mouth rinses
- Troches
