Welcare can help you manage pain better.

Compounding unlocks the true power of pain management.

There are many medications that address chronic pain, and many limitations and side effects that go along with them. Working with your physician, the pharmacists at Welcare can compound pain medication customized for you, eliminating many or all of the problems with an off-the-shelf medication.

Strength Variations

People are unique, and pain levels and the ability to tolerate them are equally so. Welcare works with healthcare providers to compound medication at the optimum dose for each patient, maximizing effectiveness, and potentially minimizing side effects.

Alternative Forms

For patients that have difficulty taking medication in its commercially available form, Welcare compounds medicine in alternate forms. Instead of a capsule or tablet, pain medications can often be prepared as a topical gel, cream, or spray that can be applied directly to the site of the pain and absorbed through the skin.

Some medications are available as a custom-flavored troche that dissolves under the tongue, a nasal spray, or a suppository. These dosage forms bypass the gastrointestinal tract, providing optimal results with less GI irritation. These dosage forms also help patients who have difficulty swallowing pills, removing yet another source of aggravation.

Combined Formulations

For people taking multiple medications, some of these medicines can be combined into a single dose of a compounded medication. As a capsule or topical preparation, combining medicines can help a patient maintain better compliance through an easier to manage protocol.
