Introduction

Gastrointestinal disorders can significantly impact daily life, but customized treatment options can help manage symptoms effectively. Compounded medications—available in formulations such as oral solutions, topical treatments, and rectal suppositories—offer a tailored approach for individuals who require specialized care.

By collaborating with a compounding pharmacist, your provider can prescribe personalized medications for a variety of gastrointestinal conditions, including:

• Anal fissures

• Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS)

• Canker sores

• Indigestion

• Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) / Crohn’s Disease

• Leaky Gut Syndrome (LGS)

• Nausea

• Opioid-induced constipation (OIC)

• Ulcer wounds

• Ulcerative Colitis

How Can Compounded Medications Help?

• Opioid-Induced Constipation (OIC): A common and often debilitating side effect of opioid use, OIC may not respond well to traditional laxatives, which can sometimes worsen symptoms or lead to intestinal obstruction. Compounded medications can be customized to help prevent or relieve OIC safely and effectively.

• Indigestion & GERD Relief: When standard treatments fail, compounded formulations like the “G.I. cocktail”—a blend of liquid antacid, viscous lidocaine, and an anticholinergic—can provide targeted relief from indigestion, heartburn, and gastritis symptoms.
