A member asked:
When should one chose to use a narcotic analgesic or a non-narcotic analgesic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Opioid or non opioid: Its not a choice on the menu. You physician makes the determination based on his evaluation and assessment. It's always a good idea to use a non opioid first. The best is to talk to your physician.
