Research Summary

Role of pharmacists in opioid analgesics for chronic pain

Supervisors:

Professor Claire Anderson, Dr Roger Knaggs

The use of opioid for chronic as well as acute pains of different origins has emerged over the recent decades with its unparalleled efficacy in providing analgesic relief to the patients. Putting a ban on opioid analgesics cannot be achieved due to risk vs. benefit ratio to the patients. Dependence with opioid use has been increasing and the reasons for this alarmist increase need to be identified. Certain safety measures should be incorporated into the health care system which provides safety nets and checks all along the process.
