Pain Management

Chronic pain can be a struggle for patients with arthritis, fibromyalgia, migraine headaches and muscle pain. Therapeutic options are often limited and patients oftentimes experience distress due to inadequate or inconsistent relief. In addition, many commonly prescribed pain relief medications cause stomach irritation and other unwanted side effects. Since every individual is unique, the types of pain experienced can be equally diverse. Compounding allows the customization of medication to suit individual pain management needs.

Compounding can provide alternative methods of delivery by formulating the ingredients of traditional oral pain medication into different dosage forms.

Pain management preparations compounded at Amber:

• Topical gel/Cream
• Spray form that can be applied directly to the affected area
• Application sticks (varied in size)
• Capsules
• Tablet triturates
• Flavoured/ unflavoured troches
• Lozenges

Patients often complain that they have to take several different medications to treat their pain. Through compounding, we can combine several medications into a single dosage form. This makes it easier to take medication, improving benefits and convenience. Furthermore, compounding can also reduce the total cost of treating chronic pain. Instead of paying for several separate prescriptions, you'll be paying for only one.
