Question

Opioid’s-Who Should Get Them?

Answer 1

Ans) Opoids:

Opioids are substances that act on opioid receptors to produce morphine-like effects. Medically they are primarily used for pain relief, including anesthesia.

Opoids- who should get them:

- Opioids are prescribed for a range of acute and chronic pain conditions, including arthritis, back pain, postsurgical pain, and dental pain.

- Opioids are a class of drugs naturally found in the opium poppy plant.

- Some prescription opioids are made from the plant directly, and others are made by scientists in labs using the same chemical structure.

- Opioids are often used as medicines because they contain chemicals that relax the body and can relieve pain.

- Prescription opioids are used mostly to treat moderate to severe pain, though some opioids can be used to treat coughing and diarrhea.

- Opioids can also make people feel very relaxed and "high" - which is why they are sometimes used for non-medical reasons.

- This can be dangerous because opioids can be highly addictive, and overdoses and death are common.

- Heroin is one of the world's most dangerous opioids, and is never used as a medicine in the United States.
