Medications can be used to control or relieve pain. They can be over-the-counter (OTC) medications (available at the drug store without a prescription) or prescription medications. Follow your doctor’s advice when using over-the-counter medications. Although these medications may seem harmless, they can have side effects, and may interact with other prescription medications you are taking.
Poorly treated pain has a negative impact on your life. Talk to your doctor to make sure you have the best options to manage your pain.
