This document summarizes medications used to treat pain and inflammation. It discusses non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), acetaminophen, tramadol, anti-epileptic drugs, tricyclic antidepressants, muscle relaxants, and opiates. NSAIDs are first-line treatments that reduce inflammation and pain by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes. Acetaminophen also reduces pain but lacks anti-inflammatory effects. Tramadol, anti-epileptics, tricyclics, and muscle relaxants may be used as adjuvants. Opiates are reserved for moderate to severe short-term pain. Careful patient screening and protocols are recommended when prescribing op

Percura, Improve Pain and Numbness Associated with Peripheral NeuropathyTargeted Medical Pharma
Percura capsules by oral administration. A specially formulated Medical Food product, consisting of a proprietary blend of amino acids in specific proportions, for the dietary management of the metabolic processes associated with pain, inflammation and loss of sensation due to peripheral neuropathy. Must be administered under physician supervision.
Percura is a proprietary formulation of amino acids and other dietary factors to support induction, maintenance, and enhancement of the specific neurotransmitter activity involved in the physiology of neuropathic pain. The formulation consists of nonessential and essential amino acids L-Arginine HCL, L-Histidine HCL, L-Glutamine, L-Serine, L-Lysine, L-Ornithine, Acetyl L-Carnitine, L-Tyrosine, the nonstandard amino acid Gamma Aminobutyric Acid, Choline Bitartrate, Glucose, Inositol, Griffonia Extract griffonia simplicifolia (95% 5-HTP) , and Creatine. These ingredients fall into the classification of Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) as defined by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) (Sections 201(s) and 409 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act). A GRAS substance is distinguished from a food additive on the basis of the common knowledge about the safety of the substance for its intended use. The standard for an ingredient to achieve GRAS status requires not only technical demonstration of non-toxicity and safety, but also general recognition of safety through widespread usage and agreement of that safety by experts in the field. Many ingredients have been determined by the FDA to be GRAS, and are listed as such by regulation, in Volume 21 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Sections 182, 184, and 186.
The CDC recently released guidelines regarding the use of opioid medications in the treatment of chronic pain. The CDC recommends that clinicians should consider nonpharmacologic therapies like medical foods as a first line therapy to safely and effectively treat chronic pain.
Fibromyalgia is characterized by chronic widespread pain, increased tenderness at specific sites known as “tender points,” unrefreshing sleep, fatigue and cognitive dysfunction not attributable to other disease states.
Fibromyalgia affects 2–4% of the general population and of those affected, 80–90% are female. In general, symptom onset occurs between the ages of 30 and 60.
While the etiology of fibromyalgia is not entirely clear, associations with trauma, adverse life events, impaired mood (e.g., depression), anxiety, irritable bowel syndrome, irritable bladder syndrome, cold intolerance, paresthesias and other medical condition have been described. Consequently, a patient tailored approach to treatment is ideal to address both symptoms of fibromyalgia and any associated conditions.
Paracetamol iv as a single analgesic is very safe analgesic, but only for mild and moderate pain.
It can be combined with many analgesic or adjuvan drugs to provide strong analgesic for postoperative pain.
So, it can be the basic regiment for Multimodal Analgesia.
Because of its safety it can be the choice for high risk surgical patient
