Overview

Pain is the oldest medical problem and the most common reason we seek medical care.¹ It is often classified as acute or chronic depending on how long the pain is present. ² As pain is a subjective experience, doctors assess pain severity on a rating scale according to personal reports by patients.² The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends clinicians treat pain according to a ‘Pain Ladder’, which allocates medication classes according to the severity of the pain – as you go up the ‘pain severity ladder’, different classes of medication are added for pain relief. ³

The Adcock Ingram Pain portfolio has a wide range of pharmaceutical products that cover the entire spectrum of the WHO ‘Pain Ladder’ and pain rating scale. ²

Our range of products can be used for acute pain relief or for long-term chronic treatment of various painful conditions including but not limited to: headache with or without tension, low back pain, muscle spasms, inflammatory conditions, sports injuries, dental pain, cancer pain and post-operative pain. ²
