What are Non-Opioid Medications?
Non-opioid medications are alternative treatments that can effectively manage various types of pain, including:
- NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs): Utilised to mitigate inflammation and alleviate discomfort.
- Antidepressants: It is frequently prescribed to alleviate nerve pain by modifying how the brain interprets pain signals.
- Anticonvulsants: Medications typically used for seizures but also effective in managing nerve pain.
- Topical Analgesics: Creams, gels, or patches that directly relieve pain in the affected area.
Muscle Relaxants: Help ease muscle spasms and reduce pain caused by muscle tension. - Corticosteroids: Anti-inflammatory drugs that reduce inflammation and manage pain, especially in arthritis or spinal conditions.
These medications target pain pathways by reducing inflammation, improving nerve function, or addressing muscle spasms.
