Are NSAIDs Addictive? - Pain Medicine Network
Are NSAIDs Addictive? In this informative video, we will discuss the potential for dependence on NSAIDs, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. These medications, commonly used to alleviate pain and inflammation, are often seen as safe alternatives to opioids. However, there are important considerations regarding their long-term use. We’ll cover recent research that highlights cases of psychological and physical dependence, as well as the differences in addictive potential between NSAIDs like ibuprofen and opioids. Additionally, we will explore the signs of dependence that may arise with regular use of NSAIDs, including increased dosage and withdrawal symptoms. We’ll also touch on medication overuse headaches (MOH) that can occur with frequent NSAID use, leading to further complications. Understanding these aspects is essential for anyone using NSAIDs, whether for chronic pain management or occasional relief.
