A Review on Analgesic available in Pakistan
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH IN MEDICAL SCIENCES - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Medications that relieve pain without causing loss of consciousness are classified as analgesics. They are also commonly referred to as painkillers. There are various classes of analgesics, determined by their chemical structures and mechanisms of action. There are no single approach to effective pain management. Instead, pain management should be tailored to each patient’s needs and should consider the cause of the pain, the existence of concurrent medical conditions; the characteristics of the pain; and the psychologic and cultural characteristics of the patient. It also requires ongoing reassessment of the pain and the effectiveness of treatment. To provide quality patient care, nurses must be well informed about both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic methods of pain management.
