What are Some Considerations for Special Populations?
Certain populations, such as the elderly, pregnant women, and individuals with chronic illnesses, require special considerations when using non-opioid analgesics. In the elderly, for instance, there is an increased risk of NSAID-related gastrointestinal and renal complications. Pregnant women should avoid certain NSAIDs to prevent fetal harm, and individuals with chronic liver or kidney disease may need alternative pain management strategies.
