The Apothecary Shoppe can work with your physician to relax muscles, alleviate pain, and decrease inflammation by compounding your medication. Compounding for sports related injuries allows the medication to be in the dosage form that is most appropriate for your injury. Many common sports related injuries are sprains, muscle spasms, swelling, and inflammation. Compounding allows our pharmacists to treat your injuries by applying topical and transdermal medications onto the affected area rather than swallowing a pill. Topical and transdermal therapy can significantly reduce the risk of side effects that can directly affect an athlete’s performance. The pharmacists at The Apothecary Shoppe can even help with athlete’s foot and jock itch by compounding anti-fungal medications. The doctor and athlete can work with the pharmacist to individualize the treatment to account for the athlete’s routine and work out regimen.
