There are many diseases and conditions that are better treated with the help of a compounding pharmacist. Although we try to provide enough information to help patients make the most informed decision possible, we cannot list all medical conditions we can help with. Please don’t hesitate to call us at (308) 345-5670 if there are any questions about medications we carry, delivery methods we can provide, or anything else! We strive to make personalized medication a pain-free experience for all our patients and practitioners and welcome requests for anything we don’t already provide.

If you’re tired of unnecessary side effects, allergic reactions to ingredients, dosages that aren’t quite right, or delivery methods that aren’t optimal, we can create a better experience for you by personalizing thousands of combinations of medications and routes.

Pain Management  McCook, NE

Pain Management

Chronic pain can have a cascade of effects on patients’ lives. Even though the condition may be controlled, the underlying pain a person experiences can prevent them from carrying out daily activities and enjoying their lives to the fullest. Our compound pharmacists will be able to work with the prescribing physician to create a personalized medication that may include several different types of pain relievers at varying dosages to best target the pain for that individual.

In addition to creating various combinations of pain relievers, we can also adjust the administration route for our patients. Although many pain medications are taken orally, it may perhaps benefit the patient to apply a topical or transdermal cream or gel instead. Creams and gels allow the patient to target the specific area they are experiencing pain, and apply a higher concentration of the drug to that area. When drugs are administered in this way, the absorption process by the body differs, and oftentimes, patients experience fewer side effects while still enjoying the full relief provided by the medication.

Pain medications available for compounding include:

  • Corticosteroids like hydrocortisone, dexamethasone, and triamcinolone
  • Muscle relaxants like cyclobenzaprine and baclofen
  • Nerve pain modifiers like gabapentin, ketamine, amitriptyline, and clonidine
  • NSAIDs like ibuprofen, ketoprofen, and diclofenac
  • Opiates like morphine, hydromorphone, and oxycodone
  • Topical anesthetics like lidocaine, benzocaine, and tetracaine

Careful adjustment and compounding by pharmacists at U-Save Pharmacy & Medical Supply will ensure the best possible administration and dosage for individual pain management needs.

Personalized Prescribing  McCook, NE

Personalized Prescribing

Sometimes a patient needs to take a medication, but the dosage they need of that medication is not commercially available at a standard pharmacy. Surprisingly, this is not uncommon. About 75% of people have genetic variations that affect how their body responds to medications. Two seemingly similar individuals with the same condition taking the same dosage of the same medication may have entirely different responses. For one person, it may work effectively as prescribed, while someone else may experience an adverse reaction or have no response whatsoever.

Some patients may also have allergic reactions to ingredients in certain medications and will need the medication to be made without the allergen. Side effects can be serious or even lethal, and millions are hospitalized each year because of them as it is the 4th leading cause of death in the United States. It is important to discuss with your doctor and pharmacist any known side effects you’ve experienced with current or past medications, as well as any allergies. U-Save Pharmacy & Medical Supply can help make the experience with medication a successful one by personalizing prescriptions.

Topical Anesthetics  McCook, NE

Topical Anesthetics

Here at U-Save Pharmacy & Medical Supply, we are also able to compound analgesic gels to help reduce pain and bleeding. Epinephrine, or adrenaline, is used primarily to stop bleeding associated with injuries. Studies have shown that gels containing lidocaine, adrenaline, and tetracaine are superior to those containing cocaine for topical use. We strive to prepare the most effective, safe product to meet each patient’s needs.
