Are Painkillers addictive?
Painkillers refer to a broad spectrum of medications which are used for pain-relief. While some are simple over-the-counter medicines which are not too addictive, care must be taken when a patient is on stronger Pain Killers (e.g. Tramadol) since these can cause dependancy and hence addiction.
Do Painkillers have any serious side effects?
Most Painkillers have side effects ranging from Gastritis to addiction. Different types of Painkillers have different adverse reactions, so you must consult your physician before taking any analgesics.
Can I take Painkillers if I am undergoing some other regular treatment?
Some Painkillers may interact with your ongoing medications, so it is compulsory to give your Doctor a complete list of all the medicines you are taking before you are prescribed any painkillers.
