Painkillers

Painkillers are medicines used to reduce pain. They support recovery and daily function when used under medical guidance. Treatment choice depends on pain type and intensity.

Types of Painkillers

Non opioid painkillers treat mild to moderate pain. Examples include acetaminophen and anti inflammatory medicines. Opioid painkillers treat severe pain under strict medical control. Adjuvant medicines support nerve or muscle related pain.

How Painkillers Work

Painkillers act on the nervous system or inflammation pathways. Some reduce pain signals in the brain. Others reduce swelling at injury sites. Each type targets pain through a different mechanism.
