Pain Relievers

Pain can be a symptom of the various diseases. All pain relief medications can be divided into two groups: the ones that are targeted to the pain itself, the painkillers, and the drugs working with the particular reasons causing the pain. Both groups are essential for the effective health maintenance.

Why not to tough out pain?

While not every case requires taking medications, toughing out the strong pain is actually harmful and dangerous. First, the long-tolerated pain irritates the nerve cells, so they may become overresponsive towards even the smallest signals. Secondly, this irritation may cause complex pain syndrome, when the reason triggered the pain is already cured, but the severe pain stays with the patients for weeks, months or even years. Third, the patients who tolerate the pain for a long time are more prone to the depression and anxiety syndrome. And the last, but not the least is the fact that untreated pain may provoke multiple complications with heart, blood vessels and musculoskeletal system. When the patient toughs out the strong pain for the long period of time, they tend to move much less than usual to prevent the pain attacks. And the lack of motion, in its turn, leads to the onset of various diseases. 

Which pain relief medicine to choose?

Your doctor in charge should prescribe you the best medicine for your diagnosis. However, we recommend to double-check the contraindications, the dosage and the administration of the medicine. If you use the over-counter drugs, such as the medicines for the menstrual pain or the regular headache caused by the weather changes, it may be useful to try different kinds of medicines. For example, some patients prefer ibuprofen-based painkillers for their safety, and some feel that loxoprofen-based medications are working faster for them, as the interaction between the drug and the body still has some individual part of the reaction.
