2023-10-17 08:00:03

On the occasion of World Pain Day, we take stock of medicinal remedies: analgesics. They are divided into three classes according to their power of action, ranging from paracetamol to morphine. Although they are generally the first response to relieving pain, consuming them in excess can have an impact on the liver. In cases of chronic pain, regular use of analgesics provides relief, but can lead to forms of dependence.
