The type of medicines that you need to treat your pain will depend on what type of pain you have.

Paracetamol and anti-inflammatory painkillers such as ibuprofen may work best for pain associated with inflammation, such as back pain or headaches.

We also offer a range of different creams and gels, which may work well in helping relieve your pain.

Whereas, if the pain is caused by sensitive or damaged nerves, as is the case with shingles or sciatica, it’s usually treated with tablets that change the way the central nervous system works.

The aim of taking medication is to improve your quality of life. Please be aware that all painkillers have potential side effects, so it is important to weigh up the advantages of taking them against the disadvantages.

In some cases, you may need further assessment and management so it is always important to visit your doctor or a suitable healthcare professional.
