Pain Medication
Whether you suffer from occasional discomfort or are dealing with a long-term, chronic condition, pain medication provides needed relief. Many popular varieties are available over the counter at your local pharmacy without a prescription, such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen. These medications come in different strengths so that you can adjust the dosage to your needs. They are also often combined with other medications, such as an antihistamine or a decongestant, to give you combined relief when you have a cold or the flu.
Different uses for pain medications
Among the most common types of pain are headaches, backaches and toothaches. Finding the right headache medicine may require advice from a physician, since different types of headaches respond to different drugs. If you suffer from migraines, for example, you may need a different medication than someone who has a tension headache. Backache medicine can relieve your soreness, but it is also important not to aggravate your injury further.
