Important Pain Management Information

Effective pain management often requires combination approaches and individualized treatment plans. Chronic pain should be managed under medical supervision to ensure optimal outcomes and minimize risks.

Start with the lowest effective dose and gradually adjust based on pain levels and side effect tolerance. Opioid medications require careful monitoring and should be used as directed to prevent dependence.
