Adjuvant analgesics, also known as co-analgesics, are defined as “drugs with a primary indication other than pain that have analgesic properties in some painful conditions.” Participants in this presentation will learn where adjuvant analgesics act within the pain pathway, how to select an appropriate adjuvant analgesic, and how to monitor for both efficacy and toxicity, including identification of common adverse effects associated with these various medication classes.
