Medical Subject Headings (MeSH): Analgesics, Opioid

Analgesics are medications used to relieve pain. Opioids are a class of analgesics that work by binding to specific receptors in the brain and spinal cord to reduce the perception of pain. They are often used to treat moderate to severe pain and can be administered through various routes, including orally, intravenously, and topically. In healthcare, opioids are commonly prescribed for pain management following surgery or injury, as well as for certain medical conditions such as cancer. However, due to their high potential for addiction and overdose, they are typically only prescribed for short-term use and under close supervision of a healthcare provider.
