The substances that cause this analgesia are called analgesics.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, when a person talks about painkillers, they are probably referring to a <strong>drug intended to mitigate a painful sensation<\/strong> in the <strong>Body<\/strong>.  Painkillers are prescribed by doctors to relieve pain in the body (in the muscles, bones, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>The best known pain reliever is <strong>aspirin<\/strong>.  In addition to relieving pain, this pain reliever is <strong>anti-inflammatory<\/strong> (reduces or eliminates inflammation) and <strong>antipyretic<\/strong> (fever decreases).  This causes a wide variety of ailments and minor disorders of the <strong>Health<\/strong> can be treated with aspirin.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>morphine<\/strong> it is also a pain reliever.  Unlike aspirin, which is available over the counter, the supply of morphine is regulated as it is a narcotic drug that causes addiction.  Due to its powerful analgesic action, morphine is usually prescribed after surgery or in the treatment of <strong>Cancer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that all pain relievers have <strong>contraindications<\/strong> and they can cause adverse effects.  Aspirin, for example, can cause intestinal problems, including ulcers.  As it is an antiplatelet agent, it helps to fight the development of clots in the veins and arteries but, for the same reason, it can cause <strong>bleeding<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond these issues, paying attention to the <strong>prospects<\/strong> and consulting a medical specialist, painkillers are beneficial to combat everyday ailments such as <strong>Muscle pain<\/strong> wave <strong>headache<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Specific damages from analgesic abuse<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Anal01.jpg\" alt=\"Analgesic\" width=\"260\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-47353\"\/>Medicine has very clearly defined the damage that can be caused by <strong>abuse<\/strong> of painkillers to every part of our body.  Let's see the most important cases below.<\/p>\n<p>Drugs such as <strong>opiates<\/strong> can suppress our ability to breathe, and in this way interfere with the proper functioning of <strong>lungs<\/strong>.  For this reason, it is considered that there is a direct relationship between the abuse of these painkillers and pneumonia.<\/p>\n<p>Inhaling certain opiates, such as hydrocodone or oxycodone, on the other hand, can lead to fluid accumulating in the lungs, and this leads to a particular <strong>difficulty breathing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Pain reliever abuse can also affect <strong>the gastrointestinal system<\/strong>.  In the case of opioids, even a moderate dose can cause constipation.  When a person increases the dose well beyond the recommended values, it is common for them to become dependent on laxatives to stimulate the bowel movement, and this can lead to <strong>damage<\/strong> in the sphincter or in the anus, like painful fissures.<\/p>\n<p>As can be seen, it is not always the action of the analgesic that is consumed in excess that affects us directly, but in some cases the greatest damage begins with the measures we must take to counteract its <strong>effects<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Consuming pain relievers in excessively high amounts also puts <strong>risk<\/strong> the integrity of <strong>liver<\/strong>, since any drug must be broken down and processed by this organ.  The stress on the liver from excess pain relievers can lead to the storage of toxins.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>paracetamol<\/strong> found in many painkillers is the cause of the worst damage to the liver: abuse of <strong>tablets<\/strong> Lortab, Percocet and Vicodin, to name a few of the drugs in which it occurs in high concentrations, can cause liver failure.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, we must not underestimate the consequences of the abuse of painkillers, since in some cases this behavior can be fatal.  It is important, therefore, to follow the doctors' instructions and always contrast them with those present in the <strong>prospects<\/strong> of medications.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-auto kksr-align-center kksr-valign-bottom\"\n    data-payload='{&quot;align&quot;:&quot;center&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;2043&quot;,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;valign&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;ignore&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;reference&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;count&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;legendonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;readonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;score&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;starsonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;best&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;gap&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;greet&quot;:&quot;Rate this post&quot;,&quot;legend&quot;:&quot;0\\\/5 - (0 votes)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;analgesic&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;_legend&quot;:&quot;{score}\\\/{best} - ({count} {votes})&quot;,&quot;font_factor&quot;:&quot;1.25&quot;}'>\n            \n<div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"2\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"3\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"4\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"5\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-active\" style=\"width: 0px;\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n                \n\n<div class=\"kksr-legend\" style=\"font-size: 19.2px;\">\n            <span class=\"kksr-muted\">Rate this post<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Analgesic is that linked to analgesia: the absence or elimination of pain.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2044,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2043","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-definition"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2043","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2043"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2043\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2044"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2043"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2043"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2043"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
