Compounding for Athletes - Get Back in the Game!

Pharmacy compounding is the art and science of preparing custom medications for individual patients.  This is an extremely beneficial way for athletes to get the relief that they need to recover from sports injuries. The Lime in the Coconut offers customized sports medicine compounding at the Lake of the Ozarks for a variety of different reasons, personalized to fit each individual patient's active lifestyle. 


Why Compounding?  

We fit the medication to the patient, not the other way around. Mainstream medicines are produced in bulk to treat the general public. Not every body will react exactly the same, which is the reason for side effects and allergic reactions to some medications. 

Compounding allows our us to customize your medicine to the specific needs of your body. We can even combine multiple medications into a single dose for convenience. This can be extremely helpful for busy, active people. 

Just as an athlete will have a customized training program to fit their goals and needs, compounding for athletes allows us to personalize a recovery program specifically for whatever is ailing you. It also allows us to adjust the doses as you begin to recover and medicinal needs change. Mass produced medications do not give you that luxury.     


Help For a Variety of Sports Injuries 

Whether you are an avid athlete or simply someone who likes to keep in shape through daily exercise, a lot of things can happen that will put you on the sidelines. The Lime in the Coconut Compounding Pharmacy and Wellness Center will work closely with doctors and trainers to guarantee that you are getting the help you need.   

A few of the things that our compounded medications can help with include: 
  • Muscle Aches, Pains, and Cramps 
  • Scars and Keloids (which is an area of irregular fibrous tissue formed at the site of a scar or injury) 
  • Wound Therapy 
  • Weight Loss 
  • Cramps 
  • Swimmer's Ear 
  • Fungal Problems 
  • Swelling 


Treatment Options 

The medications that you get from a regular pharmacy take time to work their way through your body. Our treatment options allow you to use medications that work when and where you need them most.  

Transdermal gels and topical creams can be applied directly to the affected area. Extended release capsules can be customized to work over a set period of time after taking. Other possible forms of compounding are: 
  • Troches (Lozenges) 
  • Nasal Sprays 
  • Suppositories 
  • Mouth Rinses 
  • Lollipops 
  • Transdermal Gels 
  • Topical Creams 
  • Extended Release Capsules 

Our compounding pharmacy in mid-Missouri gives athletes the help that they need to get back in the game, and we also want to make sure you remain in good health for the future.
