Pain Management
For many people, managing pain is part of their daily lives. Patients often suffer from ailments, such as arthritis, diabetes, tennis elbow, back injury and migraine headaches, just to name a few. Many times the pain medications prescribed can cause unpleasant side effects, such as drowsiness, upset stomach, low energy and an overall feeling of tiredness. Working with your physician to diagnose and treat your acute or long-term pain is a critical first step in learning how to manage a pain treatment plan into your life.
At Hoye’s Pharmacy, we specialize in compounding topical pain medications which allow the medicine to start working directly and immediately on the pain
without having to travel through the bloodstream first to reach the pain location. This helps to reduce the side effects of drugs having to travel through parts of the body that don’t need them, thus reducing or eliminating negative side effects. This is also important when you are taking other medications and are concerned with potential drug interactions. These topical medications are usually gels or creams and are formulated exactly to your specific needs. As a result, there is significant flexibility in strength, dosage form and ingredient amounts.
In addition to topical dosage forms, we can also work with capsules, sublingual lozenges, injectables, and liquid suspensions. We work with you and your physician to formulate a treatment program tailored specifically to your pain.
A wide variety of over the counter products are also available and are often used for treating pain. Natural anti-inflammatories, anti-nausea herbs and homeopathic remedies for arthritis are examples of just a few.
