Opioid Safety: Balancing Benefits and Risks
  • 5.00 ACPE Pharmacy
  • 5.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™
  • 5.00 ANCC
  • 5.00 Contact hours
$15.00
Opioid analgesics are approved by the FDA for the treatment of moderate or severe pain. However, individual patients differ greatly in clinical response to different opioid analgesics, and patient populations show widely variable response to the same opioid and dose. These response variations make opioid prescribing challenging. Further, the important role of opioid analgesics is broadly accepted in acute pain, cancer pain, and palliative and end-of-life care, but it is controversial for the management of chronic noncancer pain.
