Rights, Risks and Responsibilities

Pain is a common medical problem that can be treated. The keys to getting the most benefit out of pain treatment are to learn as much as you can about any medicines your healthcare professional (HCP) prescribes, to follow their instructions and talk to your HCP or pharmacist about anything that concerns you.

If you or a loved one is currently taking prescription opioids, or if opioids are discussed or recommended as part of your treatment regime, it’s important to understand your rights, risks and responsibilities.
