Opioids are widely prescribed for pain, but studies show that anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen often outperform them for safety and effectiveness.

People may not realize these medications can actually worsen pain and increase the risk of addiction. Careful prescribing and exploring alternative therapies can protect patients from unnecessary harm.
