Muscle Cramps

Muscle cramps are common and are often very uncomfortable. At some stage in our lives, most of us will have the unfortunate experience of suffering from a painful muscle cramp. During a muscle cramp, the affected muscle tightens and spasms.  The muscle often feels very hard and is usually painful.

There are many different reasons why muscle cramps occur, electrolyte imbalances, medication side effects and overuse of muscles are only a few of the common causes.

Nocturnal leg cramps are particularly distressing and certainly have a negative impact on the lives of the people that suffer from them.  Fortunately, these cramps can be treated very easily and safely. 

The pharmacists at Wickham House Compounding Pharmacy have developed some unique treatments to relieve the symptoms of muscle cramps. Some of these treatments can even be delivered transdermally, directly to the affected muscle, without even having to take a pill!

These treatments are tailored to the unique needs of each patient.  Please contact our pharmacists on 1300 667 827 if you would like to discuss your treatment options.
