Compounded Medications for Arthritis
Personalized support through customized compounded medications.
At AllMedRx, we prepare compounded medications for arthritis based on your provider’s prescription and your individual needs.
Understanding Arthritis
Arthritis is a broad term encompassing over 100 different conditions that cause inflammation, pain, and stiffness in the joints. The two most common types are osteoarthritis (caused by wear and tear of joint cartilage) and rheumatoid arthritis (an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks joint tissues). Arthritis can affect one or multiple joints and may impact hands, knees, hips, spine, or other areas of the body.
Arthritis symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe pain that significantly limits mobility and daily activities. The condition affects people of all ages, though risk increases with age, previous joint injury, obesity, family history, and certain occupations involving repetitive joint stress.
While arthritis cannot be cured, effective management through medication, physical therapy, weight management, joint protection strategies, and lifestyle modifications can reduce pain, improve function, and slow disease progression.
Arthritis is typically diagnosed by a licensed healthcare provider through physical examination, medical history, imaging studies such as X-rays or MRI, blood tests for inflammatory markers, and joint fluid analysis when appropriate.
If you are experiencing joint pain, swelling, or stiffness, it is important to speak with your provider for proper evaluation and guidance.

Everyone experiences arthritis differently. Personalized compounding may be considered when commercially available medications or formulations do not meet a patient's specific needs.
Medications for Arthritis: Treatment Options
Arthritis is often managed through a combination of medication, physical therapy, exercise, weight management, joint protection techniques, and assistive devices when needed. Your provider will determine which options are appropriate based on your arthritis type, severity, affected joints, medical history, and treatment goals.
Common Types of Arthritis Medications
Medications such as ibuprofen, naproxen, or celecoxib may be prescribed by healthcare providers to reduce pain and inflammation in arthritis.
Pain relief medications such as acetaminophen may be recommended for managing arthritis pain, particularly when inflammation is not prominent.
Medications such as methotrexate or hydroxychloroquine may be prescribed for rheumatoid arthritis to slow disease progression and prevent joint damage.
Advanced medications that target specific immune system components may be used for moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis or other inflammatory arthritis types.
Oral or injected steroids may be prescribed to quickly reduce inflammation and pain during arthritis flares.
Creams, gels, or patches containing NSAIDs, capsaicin, or other pain-relieving ingredients may be applied directly to affected joints.
Many patients require multiple medications to manage arthritis symptoms effectively. Compounding may allow certain medications to be combined into one formulation if prescribed.
