Understanding Pain Relief Medication Categories
Pain medications are classified by the WHO's analgesic ladder into three levels:
- Step 1 — Mild pain: Paracetamol, NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen)
- Step 2 — Moderate pain: Weak opioids such as Codeine
- Step 3 — Severe pain: Strong opioids such as Hydrocodone, OxyContin, Dilaudid

Safe Use of Pain Relief Medications
When using opioid pain medications, always follow these key principles:
- Start low, go slow — Begin at the lowest effective dose.
- Avoid alcohol — Combining opioids with alcohol significantly increases respiratory depression risk.
- Do not crush extended-release tablets — This releases the full dose at once, which can be dangerous.
- Store safely — Keep out of reach of children and in a cool, dry place.
