Managing pain
We can help you with:
- finding ways to manage your pain
- reducing your dose of pain medication, if that's what you need
Medications that should be reviewed
Studies have shown that some medications should only be used for a short time. This is because they can become less effective over time or may cause problems of their own.
These include:
- opioids - morphine-based painkillers such as codeine, tramadol, oxycodone
- benzodiazepines
- sleeping tablets, for example Zopiclone
- gabapentin
- pregabalin
