Compounding for Podiatry
The science of topical pharmaceutical compounding has advanced significantly over recent years. Topical compounding allows the local delivery of high doses of medication to the area that hurts. Examples include the treatment of Achilles tendinosis, plantar fasciitis or following an acute injury. Topical delivery of medications generally absorb at levels significantly higher than the same medications given orally.
Another benefit of topical compounded medications is the fact that they allow doctors to combine multiple agents with multiple mechanisms of action. As a result, they can provide you, the patient, with pain relief that is substantially greater.
The most common use for compounded podiatry medications are:
-
plantar fasciitis
-
Achilles tendinopathy
-
diabetic toes, ulcers, wounds
-
warts
-
tendonitis, including posterior tibial tendon disorder
-
