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:

Your INDIVIDUAL Athlete Deserves INDIVIDUAL Medicine

We have talked a lot about compounded medication at the Lake of the Ozarks, and by this time you have surely figured out that compounding can benefit people from all walks of life in a wide variety of different situations. This week, we thought we would take a closer look at athletes and how compounding can help them through their unique situations.

Why Sports Compounding?

Athletes lead fast-paced and challenging lives. Not only is their well-being hindered when they experience an injury or health challenge - their entire lifestyle is at stake. Athletes' injuries are as distinct and varied as the athletes themselves, and we firmly believe that every individual athlete deserves access to individualized medication that is designed to fit their unique needs.

Compounding allows the doctors, trainers, athletic patients, and pharmacists at the Lake of the Ozarks to work together to create a unique dosage that is specifically tailored to the individual athlete.

Strength Variations

A 280-lb offensive lineman requires a very different physical training strategy than a 175-lb shortstop requires. Similarly, these athletes require different dosages of medication for best results. Commercial medications only come in specific dosage amounts, but our Lake of the Ozarks compounding pharmacy and customize the strength of every medication to match each of our athlete's individual needs.

Unique Dosage Forms

As with our other types of compounded medications, we can deliver athlete's medication is a variety of different dosage forms. Depending on the athlete's specific situation, we can create the medication as...

Tablets
Capsules
Gels
Creams
Troches
Sublingual Drops
Sublingual Tablets
Suppositories

While tablets and capsules are great in certain situation, our ability to deliver our customized medication at the Lake of the Ozarks in several different forms (specifically topical gels and creams) gives us a huge advantage. Medication taken orally must pass through the digestive system before finally ending up in the right location - assuming it doesn't get channeled somewhere else altogether. By applying the medication topically, we can be confident that it will reach the specific trigger point for maximum effect.

What Athletes Can Benefit From Compounding?

Compounding does not discriminate; athletes from all different disciplines have enjoyed great results by taking compounded medication. Swimmers can get treatment for swimmer's ear and fungal problems, for example, and bowlers can get relief from stresses on the wrist and finger joints. Joggers can be treated for swelling and muscle pain.

Almost every repetitive sport (such as golf, tennis, and softball) can lead to chronic injuries without proper care and attention. If you (or other athletes you know) have suffered from sports-related pain or injuries, as your doctor how compounding medication could help you.
