Family Pharmacy in Houston, Texas
Every problem can have a multitude of solutions. In the practice of compounding, the same principle applies when creating unique medications for unique patient needs. Compounding opens doors to myriad formulations – one of which may just be what you need to restore your health and maintain your wellness.
Choice Pharmacy is a compounding pharmacy with the following specializations:
Pain Management
There are a lot of ways in which pain can be addressed through medications. A patient can take a pain killer orally or in cases involving severe pain, a nurse will administer pain medication intravenously or with an injection. However, one other way to address pain is with a topical medication. Choice Pharmacy can compound your pain medication into the form of a cream and applied on the specific part where you are experiencing pain.
The effects take place faster and you feel relieved with very little chance of side-effects. Since the pain is addressed more precisely by skin application, other parts of the body don’t have to share the pain medication if delivered orally. There are minimal or no adverse effects at all.
Here are other benefits of pain medication compounding:
- No need to swallow large pain pills
- Cream or topical application targets pain receptors directly
- Non-Addictive Formulation
- The medication concentrates on the area where it is applied
