Pain Relievers
Pain relievers are medications designed to reduce or eliminate pain. They vary from over-the-counter options like paracetamol and ibuprofen to prescription drugs such as opioids. Pain relievers work by interfering with pain signals or reducing inflammation. Always follow medical advice when using pain relievers to avoid potential side effects.
