What is Sports Medicine Compounding?

Sports medicine compounding involves the preparation of customized medications to address a wide range of issues related to athletic activity and injury. This allows for:

• Personalized Formulations: Tailoring medications to an individual's specific injury, pain level, training regimen, and any  sensitivities or allergies.
• Targeted Dosage Forms: Creating medications in forms that offer convenient and effective application for athletes, such as: 
  • Topical Creams and Gels: For localized pain relief, inflammation reduction, and muscle relaxation.
  • Oral Solutions and Suspensions: For easy administration and specific dosages.
  • Transdermal Gels: For sustained release of medication.
  • Nasal Sprays: For certain types of pain or inflammation.
• Combination Therapies: Combining multiple medications into a single formulation, as prescribed by a healthcare professional, to address different aspects of an injury or performance need.
• Strength Adjustments: Preparing medications with precise strengths that may not be commercially available.
• Compounding Unavailable Medications: Creating access to medications that may have been discontinued.
• Minimizing Systemic Side Effects: Utilizing topical formulations to deliver medication directly to the affected area, potentially reducing systemic side effects associated with oral medications.
