The pain mechanism
To understand how pain arises and what path it takes, you have to see what happens when you burn your hand. In this kind of situation, the pain felt is above all a warning signal, which allows us to avoid the danger. The burn stimulates nerve endings in the skin, sensitive to pain, called nociceptors.
The nociceptors transmit the nervous message via nociceptive fibers to the spinal cord. This nervous message then reaches the thalamus, then different areas of the cerebral cortex, which will identify the nervous message as painful, but also give it an emotional dimension, that is to say associate it with a very unpleasant sensation.

Effervescent tablets should be stored away from moisture and heat.
POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS (summary)
Anal irritation (suppository).
Exceptionally: allergic skin reactions .


GLOSSARY Â (summary)


analgesic
Medication that works against pain. Analgesics act either directly on the pain centers located in the brain, or by blocking the transmission of pain to the brain.
Synonym: analgesic.


anticoagulant
Medication that prevents blood from coagulating and thus prevents clots from forming in the blood vessels.
Anticoagulants are used to treat or prevent phlebitis, pulmonary embolism, certain infarcts. They also prevent the formation of clots in the heart during rhythm disorders such as atrial fibrillation or in the case of an artificial heart valve.
There are two main types of anticoagulants:
  • oral anticoagulants, which block the action of vitamin K (antivitamin K, or AVK) and whose efficacy is controlled by a blood test: INR (formerly TP) Â;
  • Injectable anticoagulants, derived from heparin, whose efficacy can be controlled by the blood dosage of anti-Xa activity, Howell's Time (TH), or Time of Cephalin Kaolin (TCK) according to the products used. Regular dosage of blood platelets is required throughout the duration of use of a heparin derivative.


© antipyrà tick
Medicine used to lower the body temperature during fever attacks.


osteoarthritis
Cartilage wear, responsible for joint pain and limitation of movement.


gluten
Consisting of certain cereals (wheat, oats, barley, rye) and flour, which can give rise to very few people predisposed to serious digestive intolerance.
Maize and rice do not contain gluten.


inflammation
Natural reaction of the organism against an element recognized as foreign. It manifests itself locally by redness, heat, pain or swelling.


dosage
Quantity and distribution of the dose of a medication according to the age, weight and general state of the patient.


allergic reaction
Reaction due to body hypersensitivity to a drug. Allergic reactions can include very varied aspects: urticaria, angioedema, eczema, eruption of pimples reminding the measles, etc. Anaphylactic shock is a generalized allergic reaction that causes discomfort by sudden drop in blood pressure.


salt
Chemical substance of which the most known is sodium chloride, or table salt. Diet salt does not contain sodium; this is usually replaced by potassium.


sodium
A mineral substance which may form salts, especially with chlorine (sodium chloride, or table salt).


sugar
General term for different substances, the most widely used of which is sucrose. Other sugars can be contained in the medications: glucose, fructose, lactose, etc. Glucose is the sugar used by the body; it is the only one to circulate in notable quantities in the blood.
Sweeteners (false sugar) are allowed in diabetics or people on a diet, and are very low in calories.


overdose
Taking an excessive amount of a drug exposes you to an increase in the intensity of the undesirable effects or even to the appearance of particular undesirable effects.
This overdose may result from accidental or voluntary intoxication for the purpose of suicide: consult the poison control center in your area (see the annex to the book). But most often, overdose is the consequence of an error in the understanding of the prescription, or the search for an increase in efficacy by a surgical surgery of the prescribed dosage © e. Finally, untimely tampering may lead to excessive absorption of the same substance contained in different medicines. Some medicines are particularly prone to this risk because they are considered (mistakenly) as harmless: vitamins A and D, aspirin, and so on. Stopping or decreasing medication intake will help eliminate problems associated with overdosage.
