Sports Medicine

Professional athletes, coaches, trainers, healthcare therapists and sports enthusiasts are all faced with problems including inflammation and muscle spasms. Using the appropriate facility and equipment in pharmaceutical compounding, medications can be customized to speed healing time and provide maximum effect in therapy. A compounding pharmacist can combine various ingredients into a single dosage form to ease nerve pain, individualize topical antifungal preparations, formulate medications for blisters or callouses, or compound sun block creams, lotions and lip balms to protect those participating in outdoor activities. Compounding allows each type of athlete to experience the benefits of customized medication in strengths and delivery systems appropriate for them.
