Pain Management

Compounded pain management involves creating customized medications specifically designed to address an individual’s pain relief needs. Unlike standard, one-size-fits-all medications, compounded pain management solutions are prepared based on individual prescriptions, ensuring the right dosage, form, and combination of ingredients to best manage pain.

Causes of Pain

Pain can be triggered differently in each person, depending on the injury or condition, and therefore must be addressed with medications that best suit the situation. We tailor medications to meet the specific needs of each individual, whether their pain is acute or chronic. For example, pain management may be necessary for conditions such as:
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Cancer
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Stomach ulcers
  • Gallbladder disease
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Chronic pain
  • Traumatic injury
  • Congenital conditions
  • Excess weight
  • Nerve damage
Our goal is to provide personalized care that addresses the unique pain management needs of each person.

Challenges in Pain Management

Patients often try various therapies for pain that may not be successful for various reasons. Here are some common challenges associated with over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription medications.

Challenges with Over-the-Counter Medications

  • Limited Options: The range of OTC medications is limited, which might not cover all pain management needs.
  • Lack of Guidance: Patients often don't have specific instructions on how to choose or combine OTC solutions effectively.
  • Limited Efficacy: OTC medications typically have lower doses and may not be effective for all types of pain.
  • Inadequate for Certain Pains: Some types of pain do not respond well to OTC options.

Challenges with Prescription Medications

  • Risk of Addiction and Abuse
  • Undesirable Side Effects: including drowsiness, dizziness, and nausea.
  • Ineffectiveness
  • Difficulty Swallowing
  • Complex Regimens: Managing various types of pain often requires multiple medications taken several times a day, which can be overwhelming.
  • Gastrointestinal Issues, such as ulcers.
At Seven Lakes Prescription Shoppe, we recognize these challenges and strive to provide personalized pain management solutions that address the unique needs of each patient.

Benefits of Compounded Pain Medications

  • Customized Formulations: Tailored to meet the specific needs of each patient.
  • Variety of Forms: Available in various forms such as creams, gels, ointments, capsules, and liquids, making it easier to administer medication based on the patient’s preferences.
  • Combination Therapies: Allows for the combination of multiple ingredients into a single dosage form, potentially simplifying and enhancing therapy.
  • Allergy Considerations: Medications can be formulated without certain fillers, dyes, or preservatives that might cause allergic reactions or side effects.

Commonly Compounded Pain Medications

At Seven Lakes Prescription Shoppe, we can compound a wide range of pain medications to address different types of pain, including:
  • Topical Pain Creams: Applied directly to the skin, these creams can target localized pain and inflammation.
  • Oral Pain Medications: Customized capsules and liquids that help provide systemic pain relief.
  • Transdermal Gels: Gels that deliver medication through the skin into the bloodstream to help provide sustained pain relief.
  • Suppositories: Used for patients who cannot take oral medications or need targeted pain therapy.
