Disease Management & Preventive Care
Find the best treatment plan for you.
There are different types of medicine and treatments that can help control pain. Ice, heat, and exercise can be helpful. Medicines that you can find at a drugstore, such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen, can also help with pain. Make sure to talk with your doctor about the best treatment for you.
To keep you and your loved ones safe when using pain medication:
Take all medications correctly.
Get rid of old medicine safely.
Throw away unused medicine when your treatment is done.
Prepare for an emergency.
Naloxone is a nasal spray or shot that is used for an opioid overdose. It helps get breathing back to normal. Read all instructions before using it. Talk to your doctor about this life-saving medication – for yourself or a loved one who is at risk of an opioid overdose.
