Typically, they are used when the pain is severe and becomes unbearable for the patient. Non-opioids, opioids, and compound analgesics (a combination of both opioids and non-opioids) are the major analgesic products used globally. The emergence of analgesics is mainly attributed to the increase in acute and chronic diseases, as well as the rising incidence of cancer worldwide. Opioid drugs are the strongest types of analgesics, which are derived from opium.
