Compounded Medications Commonly Used in Podiatry
Compounded medications play a crucial role in podiatry by offering personalized drug combinations for various foot and ankle issues. Here are some common types of compounded medications used in podiatry:
Anti-inflammatory Creams or Gels: These are used to reduce inflammation and pain associated with conditions like plantar fasciitis, bursitis, or tendinitis. Ingredients might include NSAIDs like ibuprofen or diclofenac.
Antifungal Preparations: Tailored for fungal infections such as athlete’s foot and onychomycosis. Compounds may include antifungal agents like clotrimazole, ketoconazole, or terbinafine, often in enhanced penetration bases to reach deeper layers of the nail or skin.
Wound Care Formulations: Customized to promote healing and prevent infection in diabetic foot ulcers or other non-healing wounds. These might include growth factors, peptides, or other agents that encourage tissue regeneration.
Pain Relief Compounds: Designed to target neuropathic pain or post-surgical discomfort. These can include combinations of local anesthetics (like lidocaine), muscle relaxants, and nerve pain medications such as gabapentin or amitriptyline.
Keratolytics: Used for warts, corns, and calluses. These compounds often contain higher concentrations of salicylic acid or urea to help break down tough skin.
Anesthetic Creams: Often used to numb the area before performing procedures like wart removal or handling ingrown toenails. Examples include lidocaine or benzocaine formulations.
Moisturizers and Emollients: Specially formulated for extremely dry or cracked skin, often seen in diabetic patients or those with poor circulation. Ingredients might include urea, lactic acid, or other hydrating components that help maintain skin integrity.
Vasodilators: Such as nitroglycerin or nifedipine creams, used to improve blood flow to areas with poor circulation, potentially helping conditions like Raynaud’s phenomenon or healing in areas with compromised blood supply.
These medications are compounded to meet the specific needs of individual patients, as prescribed by their medical practitioners.
Consultations
Any prescription recommendations that result from the consultation must be authorized by a prescriber and will be sent to the prescriber of your choice.
