Traditional oral medications are digested, then flow throughout the body via the bloodstream. This means they can alter other body systems and/or inhibit the effectiveness of other treatments.

Our topical creams breech the derma to reach receptors below the skin, but have very limited access to the bloodstream. Because of this, any side effects are generally limited to the application area.

Oral medications must pass through the digestive system and bloodstream to reach the affected area. Relief can take anywhere from several minutes to a few hours.

Our topical creams are applied directly to the affected area providing instantaneous relief.

The topical creams and gels have minimal access to the bloodstream through the skin. This means they have little effect on other body systems, including the brain. Even with controlled substances compounded into the formula, without access across the blood-brain barrier, addiction cannot occur.

For those who have difficulty swallowing pills, capsules, or tablets, the topical application of a cream increases the likelihood of compliance with treatment. Likewise, if a patient has a hard-to-treat condition that doesn’t respond to off-the-shelf prescriptions, or the strength of the medicine they need is not commercially available, we can customize a formulation.

The use of antimicrobial drugs can have many unintended side-effects. Long-term use can lead to an accumulation of harmful byproducts from its metabolism in tissues or organs. This accumulation of toxic chemicals can lead to organ damage, and in extreme cases, even organ failure and death. The liver and kidneys are common organs affected by chemical toxicity.

Our compounded creams and gels have minimal contact with the bloodstream and can be more easily metabolized through the body’s natural filtration systems… the kidneys and liver. Even with repeated use, the lowest doses of chemical byproducts should have little to no effect on the internal organs. In the event a reaction does occur, a quick alternation in the personalized formula can alleviate any potential long-term affects.

Because our creams reach receptors through the skin, they have very limited access to the bloodstream. Side effects are generally limited to the topical application area. This also means chemical byproducts have little to no effect on the body’s other organ systems or other medications a patient may be using.

Chronic pain affects over 100 million Americans, a greater prevalence than heart disease, cancer, and diabetes combined. Living in pain greatly impacts one’s quality of life, as you tirelessly try one therapy after another with little to no improvement.

Nearly 25%, or about 76 million Americans, feel pain daily.

Nearly half (48%) of Americans don’t believe pain can be eased with proper treatment.

Our compounding and retail pharmacists can develop topical formulations to provide active drug concentrations right where you need it. They work quickly and effectively by targeting numerous pain receptors simultaneously. This will give pain sufferers the maximum relief, as quickly as possible, without interrupting other organ systems in the body.
