What is self-administered pain medication? how can i do that safely?

Take your own meds: It is taking your own medications. I assume you are asking about patient control analgesia (pca). You get a button to self administer medication for pain. You are prevented from getting excess by a lock out interval between doses and by only pushing it your self (no family help).
