Ongoing review of your pain medications is essential to maximise pain relief and minimise side effects. Your pain specialist will assess your medications and collaborate with you to determine the correct doses and combinations. We also guide you in managing your own pain medications so you can adjust them according to your needs.

It is preferable to take two or more pain medications in low doses rather than a single medication in a large dose. This approach reduces side effects and allows the medications to work on different aspects of pain in combination, leading to significant pain reduction. Various pain medications work differently in the body, so using a few at lower doses can effectively manage pain while minimising adverse effects.
