Traditional oral pain medications can pose significant challenges, including unanticipated side effects, abuse, overdose risk, and patient non-compliance. They may also lead to various health issues, such as gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic, cardiovascular problems, sedation, and cognitive impairment.

In contrast, compounded pain treatments offer targeted relief by delivering high concentrations of medication directly to the source of pain. Providers can customize these compounds to meet each patient's unique needs, providing precise pain relief without circulating throughout the entire body.
