Pain Management Drugs Market - Global Forecast to 2026

Pain Management Drugs Market – Insights

Pain management medications are specific drug classes, which have pharmacological actions on pain receptors and work against the pain symptoms. These medications include opioids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), anticonvulsants, antidepressants, muscle relaxants, and others. These medications can be used for pain management of conditions, as indicated on label and some medications have off-label uses. For instance, anticonvulsants and antidepressants were originally used for the management of epilepsy and depression respectively. However, these medications have shown activity against pain indications and are prescribed for pain management as off-label indication.

Moreover, opioids are majorly prescribed for the management of acute as well as chronic pain. This has also resulted in self-medication by patients, resulting in misuse or overdose of opioid containing drug products. Moreover, majority of the drugs have lost patent protection over the years and generic versions of the same are widely available in the market. Commercially available pain management drugs include Fentanyl, Hydromorphone, Oxycodone, Aspirin, Diazepam, and others.
