Pain Management
Specialty medications used to treat chronic pain, need expert guidance from pharmacists at Medicos Pharmacy to achieve the best therapy results for:
- Arthritis
- Osteoarthritis
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Fibromyalgia
- Nerve Damage
Our pharmacy is the patient’s source for dispensing instructions and prescription medication management to alleviate pain symptoms. We recognize how patients have to deal with uncomfortable symptoms when their physicians diagnose them with the listed above health issues.
Medication regimens can be complex since the MTM (medication therapy management) covers periodic medication therapy reviews, dosage reviews and coordination between pharmacist and physician. Additionally, specialty medicines for chronic pain can be costly. To address this dilemma, our pharmacists are ready to obtain prior authorizations on behalf of the patient from their insurance providers and will even recommend the patient to non-profit organizations for financial assistance.
Arthritis Pain
Arthritis pain can be a debilitating condition that affects many individuals. We can offer several options for patients who require relief from arthritis pain. One option is the use of topical creams and gels. These formulations can be customized to meet the specific needs of the patient, such as incorporating multiple active ingredients or adjusting the strength of the medication. Topical creams and gels can be applied directly to the affected area, allowing for targeted pain relief and minimizing potential side effects associated with oral medications. Another option is the use of transdermal patches. These patches can be applied to the skin and slowly release medication over some time, providing sustained pain relief.
Neuropathic Pain
Compounded medications can be tailored to the individual patient's needs and may be more effective in treating neuropathic pain than traditional medications. Some common compounded medications used for neuropathic pain include topical creams and gels, transdermal patches, oral medications, suppositories, and more. It is essential to keep in mind that compounded medications for neuropathic pain should only be used under the prescription of a healthcare provider.
