Migraine Management
Migraine sufferers know how debilitating migraine headaches can be. Migraines impact many aspects of life and often affect the ability to eat, work, socialize, and perform other daily functions. There are many causes and triggers of migraine headaches that include hormone imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, adrenal disorders, medications, food sensitivities, environmental toxin overload, chronic conditions, stress, and many others. These vary from patient to patient and until the underlying cause of migraines is identified, we have treatment options to address the symptoms. There are many commercially available medications to help with migraine management, but they are too expensive, are limited in doses per day/week/month, can have side effects, and provide little relief for many people.
Compounding offers a unique approach to treating migraines. Compounded nasal sprays containing either ketamine or lidocaine have been effective for many migraine sufferers. We can also compound NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), vitamins, caffeine, and other agents in various dosage forms (nasal sprays, oral lozenges, oral capsules, suppositories, topical creams) that can provide relief from migraine pain.
Discontinued medications, such as Midrin®, are also available as compounded products. We are always happy to work with providers to create customized options for patients based on preference, symptoms, current medications, and many other factors.
We also offer consultations that can help you address the underlying causes of migraines associated with nutrition, diet, lifestyle, hormone balance, and others. Visit our consultations page to learn more.
Potter’s House Apothecary specializes in sterile and non-sterile compounding services. We also provide educational webinars, private consultations and pharmaceutical grade nutritional supplements.

A prescription from a licensed practitioner is required for compounded medications. The FDA does not review any compounded medication for safety or efficacy. This is the primary reason that we encourage any patient or healthcare provider looking to compounding as a treatment option to always engage a PCAB Accredited Compounding Pharmacy.
