Ideas? what pain medicine does not suppress respiratory rate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Non opioids: There are many medications that treat pain. Opioid pain meds all can cause respiratory depression. Safe alternatives are nsaids, tylenol (acetaminophen). Cymbalta, Lyrica and Gabapentin also can help with pain but can be sedating. There are others as well.
