FAQ's

Your specialist will give you personalised instructions if any pain medications are prescribed to you. However, some general instructions include the following: 

  • Do not raise the dosage without consulting your doctor.

  • Be mindful of potential interactions with other substances, including alcohol, antihistamines, anti-anxiety drugs like benzodiazepines, and sleep aids.

  • Do not sell or give your medications to others, nor accept medications from sources other than a pharmacy.

  • Inform your doctor about any additional drugs you use, including over-the-counter medications and street narcotics.

  • Inform your doctor if you have a history of substance misuse, an addictive personality, or exhibit any of the warning signs of addiction.

Ibuprofen, aspirin, and other NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines) might irritate the stomach lining; thus, they should be taken with food or a glass of milk. However, paracetamol does not irritate the stomach lining, so it doesn't matter if you take it on an empty stomach, although continuous use can induce liver damage. Your specialist will prescribe the doses of painkillers prescribed to minimise your pain.

Period pain can be relieved by anti-inflammatory medicines, such as diclofenac, ibuprofen, and naproxen. All of these medications are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). They inhibit the formation of prostaglandins, which can help reduce period discomfort.

Some side effects that can arise when pain relievers are consumed for longer periods include:

  • Internal stomach haemorrhage (induced by taking aspirin for too long)

  • Acetaminophen can cause liver damage if used in excess or when coupled with alcohol

  • Kidney troubles (induced by taking too much ibuprofen)

  • High blood pressure

  • Fluid retention

  • Stomach ulcers

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are medications that are commonly used to treat pain, reduce inflammation, and lower high temperatures. They are frequently used to treat the symptoms of headaches.

Opioid medications are generally prescribed for pain management; However, these medications have the potential to cause physical dependence, misuse, and addiction. Opioid substances include heroin and prescription pharmaceuticals like oxycodone and methadone. Opioids function by inhibiting the brain's perception of pain. They can also alter your brain's pleasure centre, generating feelings of euphoria. When taken as prescribed, opioids can be extremely effective pain relievers. Nonetheless, the body quickly develops a tolerance to the medication, so the same dose of medication provides less pain relief. If you feel the need to take more of the prescription than was given to you, speak with your doctor.

Analgesics, or painkillers, are a general term for medications used to treat pain. Over-the-counter pain remedies include a variety of medications that are available without a prescription. These include paracetamol and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen and aspirin. Before purchasing any over-the-counter medications, it is essential to consult with your doctor about an appropriate medication for your pain. Combination pain medications contain multiple active ingredients, such as ibuprofen and codeine, aspirin and codeine, and paracetamol and codeine. Opioids, including buprenorphine, codeine, oxycodone, and morphine, can be addictive and cause adverse effects, including nausea and vomiting. They are only available by prescription.

Opioid-containing pain treatments have the potential to be addictive. When a person uses opioid medications for an extended period, their bodies adapt to the drug. If patients suddenly stop taking the medicine, they may have withdrawal symptoms such as muscle aches, runny nose and eyes, irritability, sweating, and diarrhoea. Experiencing withdrawal indicates physical dependence on the medication, a common response to persistent opioid use, rather than addiction. Many drugs can cause physical dependence; for instance, caffeine withdrawal may cause headaches in individuals accustomed to regular coffee consumption.

Addicts have an excessive need to use their medication (usually for reasons other than pain relief) and will compulsively seek it out and continue to use it regardless of the consequences. If you suspect you're experiencing addiction to your medications, it's important to seek guidance from your healthcare provider and discuss your concerns with them. Your doctor may

  • Lower the dose of your medication.

  • Change to another medication.

  • Recommendations for addiction treatment include discontinuing medication, consulting with a counsellor or psychologist to develop coping methods, and referring to a specialist in drug treatment.
