Sports activities and fitness programs focus on the athlete's strengths and are customized to meet his or her individual needs. So why not do the same thing with medications needs? How can the same amount of medication benefit a 350 pound football player and a 100 pound gymnast with the same type of knee problem? It can’t. Their bodies are different and their needs are different. Often commercially available products are limiting in dosage strengths and forms. Compounding pharmacies have the resources (raw chemicals and drugs, state-of-the-art equipment, highly knowledgeable staff) to compound customized medications to meet the specific needs of individual patients. Compounding pharmacists work closely with the patient, physician, and athletic trainer to prepare appropriate dosage strengths, potencies, and delivery systems for the utmost in therapy. With revolutionary transdermal gel drug delivery systems, patients may apply medication directly to the site in injury, avoiding any gastro-intestinal side effects common with oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use. Athletes of every shape and size can benefit from custom compounded medications—golfers, swimmers, gymnasts, baseball players, soccer players, football players, weekend warriors, and more. Any repetitive movement can lead to injuries resulting from overuse. We can help any and all of them.

"I have always been amazed when a physician gives the same dosage units to a 250 pound player that he or she prescribes to a 180 pound athlete. We individualize our fitness programs to meet every player's needs; and I have always wondered why we couldn’t through the use of compounding individualize dosage units to better meet an athlete’s medication needs."
