Pain Management

Pain is inevitable. Suffering doesn’t have to be.

Pain is the most common symptom for which people seek medical help. Acute pain can easily turn into chronic pain, which can be difficult to treat. There are many commercially available pain relief medications that help with the chronic pain of conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, migraine headaches, and other nerve and muscle pain, but they can also have unwanted side effects like drowsiness, dizziness, or stomach irritation.

Alternative dosage forms

We can provide alternative methods of delivery for pain medications. For example, instead of a tablet, a transdermal cream or gel can be manufactured to be applied directly to the site of the pain and absorbed through the skin. Dosage forms like nasal sprays, lozenges that dissolve under the tongue or suppositories are also possibilities.

These dosage forms bypass the gastrointestinal tract, helping patients with stomach irritation as well as those who have difficulty swallowing pills. In some cases, these delivery methods may allow for a smaller dose of the drug to be taken, which can reduce side effects.

Strength variations

Because patients vary in size, symptoms and pain tolerance, commercially available medications sometimes may not provide the appropriate dosage strength for an individual patient. We can customise the dosage to the exact amount the patient requires and find a dosage form that best meets your needs.
