Are there pain patches that do not cause very strong side effects such as headache and vomiting?
35.00 zł

I enrolled in a pain management clinic. After prior contact with the primary care physician, I decided to try painkiller patches in the lowest dose, unfortunately the side effects were so strong that I had to stop taking the drug. Eye pain, headache, light, disgust, nausea, vomiting, headache, four days I've been without a patch, and the headache and vomiting persist

Hypersensitivity to the active substance is an individual feature - such strong side effects do not occur often, especially when low doses of the drug are used. You did not indicate the name of the preparation, but I assume that it is a centrally acting drug of the Transtec/Melodin type. Headaches, nausea and drowsiness are the most common side effects of this group of drugs.

In this situation, you should discuss with your doctor the possibility of using a different pain reliever. In pharmacies, you can buy over-the-counter painkiller and anti-inflammatory patches containing diclofenac (e.g. Itami, Olfen Patch). The drug has a different mechanism of action. The therapeutic effect is likely to be less potent than with opioid patches.

On our website, you can check the availability of OTC drugs and place an order with collection at the pharmacy or home delivery:
