Analgesics are a class of drugs used to treat pain, including low back pain. They work by blocking pain signals from reaching the brain, reducing inflammation, and providing relief from discomfort. Commonly used analgesics include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), opioids, and acetaminophen. NSAIDs are the most commonly prescribed analgesics for low back pain, as they are effective in reducing inflammation and pain. Opioids are also used to treat severe pain, but they can be addictive and have serious side effects. Acetaminophen is a milder analgesic that is often used in combination with other drugs to provide relief from low back pain. Companies in the Low Back Pain Drug market include Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, Johnson & Johnson, Novartis, Sanofi, AstraZeneca, and Eli Lilly. Show Less Read more
