Description
Bryana Gregory works at a compounding pharmacy, an option that many physicians in traditional medical circles have never considered.
But compounding could be the key to recovery and better long-term health for some patients. Rather than seeking only to relieve pain, compounding pharmacists take a holistic approach to a patient’s health to create personalized treatments.
“It’s like back in the day, when we used to have apothecaries, and see doctors and pharmacists behind the counter mixing up medications that were customized for the patient,” Bryana says. “Compounding pharmacy is more of an individualized approach.”
Often, treatments for pain involve as little medication as possible, with compounding pharmacists opting instead for supplements that can replenish or rebalance the entire body.
On this episode of Back Talk Doc, Dr. Lakhia talks with Bryana about what makes a good compounding pharmacist and how functional medicine can address pain.
We also talk about some popular treatments, including topicals like low-dose naltrexone, CBD, and even oxytocin, better known as “the love hormone.”
