Applications

Typical applications would include, but are certainly not limited to:

Encapsulations

• Sustained release capsules
• Improved therapeutic outcome and improved patient compliance and convenience
• Preventing adverse drug reactions and toxicity by reducing peak serum levels
• Reducing abuse potential
• Reducing gastrointestinal interactions such as irritation, degradation of product, etc.

Unique formulations

• Individualized dosages reducing adverse side effects
• Reformulation and removal of excipients and medications in commercially available products to improve tolerance and prevent end-organ damage (i.e. Removing acetaminophen from hydrocodone encapsulations or removing lactose, dyes, binders, etc)
• Formulating products with unique combinations of pharmaceutical compounds to improve therapeutic outcomes (i.e. Dextromethorphan with opiates to reduce tolerance and load)

Transdermals (pluronic lecithin organogels, liposomal creams, anhydrous gels)

• Deep tissue penetration providing improved therapeutic outcomes over oral medications

Neuropathic pain

• Improved saturation of NMDA and AMPA pain receptors allowing for improved response to pharmaceutical compounds
• Reduction of adverse drug reactions and end-organ toxicity by reducing the amount of medication required over time for therapeutic effect (i.e. Approximately 1/6th daily dose of gabapentin vs. Oral dosage)
• Individualized bases to control depth of penetration for specific treatments (trigger point, dorsal horn and soft tissue applications)

Unique formulations

• Novel and synergistic pharmaceutical combinations for improved outcomes as many drug classes work at the same receptors with varying mechanisms
• Patient specific relative to pathology and duration
• Pressure and trauma induced neuropathy
• Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (RSD)
• Post Herpetic Neuralgia
• Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
• Novel pharmaceutical applications such as increased blood flow, stimulating tissue regeration, blocking NMDA receptor wind-up following acute injury that leads to chronic pain

TPS can also do topicals for wound care, phonophoresis, iontophoresis, speed gels, scar creams, muscle relaxants, etc.
