Pseudo-narcotic analgesics
analgesics">Pseudo-narcotic analgesics are a type of pain relief medication that work similarly to narcotics but have a lower potential for addiction and fewer side effects. They provide relief by affecting the body’s pain receptors but do not produce the same level of sedation or euphoria associated with stronger opioids. Common examples include medications like tramadol and certain non-opioid pain relievers that can help manage moderate pain. While they are effective, it’s important to use them as directed by a healthcare professional to avoid any risks or complications.
