Opioid Analgesics

Opioid analgesics are a class of powerful pain-relieving medications that act on opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord. They are used to treat moderate to severe pain, including post-surgical pain, cancer pain, and chronic pain conditions.

Mechanism of Action

Opioids bind to mu, kappa, and delta opioid receptors in the central and peripheral nervous system. Activation of these receptors inhibits the transmission of pain signals, reduces the emotional response to pain, and produces analgesia. They also affect the reward pathway, which contributes to their abuse potential.
