Topical pain medications are ideal for patients who are not candidates for oral medications or simply prefer to use a topical medication alone or in conjunction with oral medications. Topical administration of medications for pain management has become increasingly more common.  

​

These topical medications are frequently prescribed for patients with a variety of painful conditions that can be addressed from a topical standpoint rather than through oral delivery. Instead of a capsule or tablet, customized pain medications often can be compounded together in dosage forms such as a topical cream that can be applied directly to the site of the pain and absorbed through the skin. 

​

Many patients have different types of pain and may benefit from a combination of different ingredients to address issues such as inflammation, muscle tightness and neuropathy. Professional Arts Pharmacy offers customized Topical Pain Management therapies with medication types such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDS), local anesthetics, nerve depressants, muscle relaxants, and other pain reducing agents.
