Compounded Medications for Osteoarthritis
Personalized support through customized compounded medications.
At AllMedRx, we prepare compounded medications for osteoarthritis based on your provider’s prescription and your individual needs.
Understanding Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, characterized by the gradual breakdown of cartilage the protective tissue that cushions the ends of bones in joints. As cartilage deteriorates, bones begin to rub against each other, causing pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced range of motion.
Osteoarthritis can affect any joint but most commonly impacts the knees, hips, hands, spine, and feet. Unlike rheumatoid arthritis, which is an autoimmune condition, osteoarthritis is primarily a degenerative “wear and tear” disease that develops over time.
Risk factors for osteoarthritis include aging, obesity, joint injuries, repetitive stress on joints, genetics, bone deformities, and certain metabolic diseases.
Osteoarthritis is typically diagnosed by a licensed healthcare provider based on medical history, physical examination, imaging studies (X-rays or MRI), and sometimes joint fluid analysis.
If you are experiencing symptoms of osteoarthritis, it is important to speak with your provider for proper evaluation and guidance.
Common Symptoms of Osteoarthritis

Physical Changes
Everyone experiences osteoarthritis differently. Personalized compounding may be considered when commercially available medications or formulations do not meet a patient's specific needs.
Medications for Osteoarthritis: Treatment Options
Osteoarthritis is often managed through a combination of pain relief medications, anti-inflammatory treatments, physical therapy, weight management, and lifestyle modifications. Your provider will determine which options are appropriate based on your symptoms, affected joints, severity, medical history, and treatment goals.
Common Types of Osteoarthritis Medications
Oral or topical NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, naproxen, or diclofenac may be prescribed by healthcare providers to reduce pain and inflammation.
Creams, gels, or patches containing pain-relieving ingredients may be applied directly to affected joints for localized relief, depending on the patient’s presentation and provider recommendation.
An over-the-counter pain reliever that may be used for mild to moderate osteoarthritis pain.
Intra-articular injections that provide temporary relief from inflammation and pain in specific joints may be considered.
Viscosupplementation injections that help lubricate joints may be prescribed for knee osteoarthritis.
Topical preparations containing capsaicin may help reduce pain by depleting substance P in nerve endings.
An antidepressant medication that may be prescribed for chronic osteoarthritis pain management.
Many patients benefit from using multiple pain management approaches together. Our compounding pharmacy may allow certain medications to be combined into one topical or oral formulation if prescribed by your provider.
