Compounded medications can provide a unique solution for patients when commercial drugs are not available. Most often, people associate compounded medicine with patients with allergies or sensory issues. Overlooked is the fact that personalized medication can be a helpful resource for athletes.

Sports medicine compounding is one of their personalized medicine specialties. They work with athletes to treat back sprains, joint pain, and older sports-related injuries.

Selma Dahalic, Director of Marketing at Berkley Pharmacy, shared the following patient testimonial with MEDISCA:
“Our patient has been using our Foot Circulation cream for the past 4 years. It took about 4 months of the physician’s professional advice, along with some ingredient tweaking and modification to create a customized compound that truly made a positive difference for the patient. The cream has reduced his numbness and tingly sensations due to the several injuries he has sustained during his soccer career. Not only has this compound improved his foot circulation but has also improved his gait (walk posture), by giving him more feelings in both of his feet.”
