Please read the following information about pain killers. If you are requesting an online consultation for prescription pain killers you will be required to confirm you have read this page before your consultation can be completed.

Constant pain is extremely debilitating and for sufferers can severely restrict their lifestyle. Even pain that isn’t severe when constant can have devastating effects on a person’s lifestyle and temperament. Pain killers play an important role in helping people with constant pain to get some relief and improve their life

IMPORTANT: it is never a good thing to move straight to strong pain killers without firstly self-medicating by exhausting the numerous over the counter pain remedies that are available in your high street, this is sometimes called following the pain relief  ladder. Paracetamol for instance has been used for over a hundred years to successfully cure mild to moderate pain. Paracetamol is commonly used for the relief of headaches and other aches and pains, it is a major ingredient in numerous cold and flu remedies. In combination with other analgesics, paracetamol can also be used in the management of more severe pain such as post surgical pain. Ibuprofen is another excellent over the counter product. It is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that can be used for the relief of symptoms such as, arthritis and fever. It is an excellent analgesic (pain reliever) and works especially well where there is an inflammatory component to the pain.

Another effective over the counter remedy is a mix of 500mg paracetamol and 8mg or 15mg of a much stronger painkiller which works by mimicking your body’s natural pain reducing chemicals which are called endorphins. Endorphins are found in the brain and spinal cord. They block the transmission of pain signals sent to the brain by your nerves. This mix can be very effective at reducing severe pain.

If over the counter Paracetamol mix is not providing effective pain relief a stronger version is available. This mix of 500mg paracetamol and 30mg of a stronger pain killer is only available after an online consultation with our Doctor.

A relatively new prescription pain killer on the market is is manufactured by Pfizer. This new medication is for the treatment of inflammation and pain caused by the two most common forms of arthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. It is classified as a non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), however, it is unique in its biologic action compared to previously available drugs of this class because it is one of the first non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to selectively inhibit primarily the Cox-2 enzyme, while sparing the Cox-1 enzyme that is responsible for protecting the delicate lining of the stomach.

This new product can help if you suffer from any of the following:

  • Osteoarthritis pain (a form of arthritis, occurring mainly in older persons, that is characterized by chronic degeneration of the cartilage of the joints) 
  • Rheumatoid arthritis pain (chronic autoimmune disease with inflammation of the joints and marked deformities). 
  • Acute pain (short term pain secondary to dental procedure, surgery, etc.). 
  • Primary dysmenorrhea pain (moderate to severe menstrual pain). 

This new product produced by Pfizer is approved for the management of all of the above and will provide excellent 24 hour pain relief without the risk of stomach problems that are associated with other NSAIDs.
