Our compounding pharmacy can help athletes, coaches, trainers, team physicians, physical therapists, and even the “weekend warrior” stay on top of their games! Adolescents, aged 13-15, account for the majority of sports injuries in youth. Tailoring treatment to the patient’s age and life style is important in order to promote prompt healing and decrease the chances of repeat injury. We can customize medications for problems that are often unresponsive to conventional therapy.
Analgesics and anti-inflammatories often have side effects, such as drowsiness, that are problematic for an athlete of any age. We can compound medications in topical dosage forms that are absorbed through the skin and provide relief directly at the application site while reducing undesirable effects that can hamper performance. Odorless and easy-to-apply creams or gels can be compounded using the most appropriate types of medications based on the individual’s specific needs. The use of compounded topical therapy can play an important role in getting adolescents back in the game!
