What are the different types of Analgesics?
Analgesics are categorized into three different types:
Acetaminophen (Tylenol):
Acetaminophen comes in different brands like Tylenol and Ofirmev, It’s an over-the-counter (OTC) medication that relieves pain and reduces fever without providing anti-inflammatory effects. It’s important to note that there is a maximum effective dose for acetaminophen according to age. It’s beneficial not to avoid the required and recommended dose to avoid unwanted adverse effects of this medication.
NSAIDs (Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs):
They are also over-the-counter medications and can be taken to reduce pain or inflammation.NSAIDS doesn’t require a prescription and comes in safe doses/dosage forms. They provide temporary relief but should not be overdosed or taken regularly. Consult your healthcare provider for other pain management options in case of persistent and long-term localized pain.
Examples include
Opioids:
Opioids are controlled substances that are not available over the counter. All the controlled substances tend to cause addicting patterns in patients however opioids are considered usually the last option when treating pain to avoid the addiction.
What are the side effects of analgesics?
Some of the common side effects of analgesics include:
- Heartburn
- Indigestion
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Constipation
- Diarrhea
- Headaches
- Dizziness
Some severe side effects of Analgesics are:
- Ringing in the ears
- Allergic reactions
- Delirium
- Respiratory depression
How do different analgesics work to treat pain?
Pain relief medications generally work on the pain receptors in the body, and the production of prostaglandin chemicals signals the brain about the pain.
Acetaminophen reduces pain and fever by inhibiting COX enzymes, with minimal anti-inflammatory effects, but excessive use can harm the liver. NSAIDs block COX-1 and COX-2 to relieve pain and inflammation, but long-term use may irritate the stomach and increase cardiovascular risks.
Consulting healthcare professionals is beneficial to get the proper diagnosis and treatment according to your medical requirements.
