Medications
Medication management is an integral part of treating foot and ankle conditions at Suburban Foot & Ankle. Our Elmhurst and Bloomingdale podiatrists prescribe targeted pharmaceutical therapies — from anti-inflammatories and antibiotics to antifungals and disease-modifying agents — to manage pain, fight infection, and control chronic disease.
Benefits
- Rapid relief of pain and inflammation
- Effective management of bacterial, fungal, and viral infections
- Topical options minimize systemic side effects
- Slows progression of chronic conditions like arthritis
- Can be combined with other therapies for comprehensive care
What to Expect
After a thorough examination and diagnosis, your podiatrist selects the most appropriate medication based on your condition, medical history, and current medications. Prescriptions are monitored for effectiveness and adjusted as needed at follow-up appointments.
Treatment Options
- Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)
- Corticosteroid Injections
- Topical Medications
- Oral Pain Relievers
- Disease-Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (DMARDs)
- Antibiotics (for infection management)
- Antifungal Medications (for fungal infections)
