Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, widely used in the management of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. Usual therapeutic dose is 100 mg twice daily and half life is 3-4 hrs; thus it is necessary to be administered frequently in order to maintain the desired concentration. Therefore, Aceclofenac is an ideal candidate for sustained release formulation, resulting in more reproducible drug absorption and reducing the risk of local irritations.5
During the 1900's, the McNeil company developed and established Tylenol into a well known and recommended analgesic. It has become recognized world wide as a safe brand of acetaminophen. The name Tylenol has become identified as a trusted, safe drug that people can easily purchase over the counter for their ailments. Tylenol is still recommended by doctors even though there was a cyanide scare in the history of the company. It has been discovered by my independent survey that consumers use Tylenol for their pet's needs also.

Percocet is a prescription drug made up of two different components; acetaminophen (pain reliever and fever reducer) and oxycodone (an opioid that binds to opioid receptors to produce morphine like effects). The initial use of percocet results in an euphoric sensation for the user. The drug causes the brain to receive a different signal about the pain and therefore will release dopamine to the body (“How Long Does Percocet Stay in your System?”). When percocet is prescribed in higher doses, the chances of addiction increases. The more frequent a patient takes percocet, the effect on the liver and kidney functions increases as well. It may result in a longer time for the drug to be fully excreted from the body (“Percocet Half-Life: How Long Does it Stay in Your System”). Once a patient becomes addicted to percocet, medical treatment may be needed in order to help the user withdraw from using the drug.
Chloroform is an anesthetic that is inhaled, and was once a widely used one. However, nowadays it isn’t because of its toxic side effects. Chloroform is another name for the colorless, dense, liquid chemical compound trichloromethane. Chloroform is nearly 40 times as sweet as sugar and has a nice odor. It is inflammable and can be used for industrial purposes like R-22 (air-conditioning), a solvent, a fire extinguishing material, and as a chemical reagent for use in synthetic reactions. Its primary use now is as an organic solvent. It is an interesting topic as chloroform is often portrayed in media as a chemical that can cause a victim that inhaled it to fall asleep quite rapidly, but in reality it takes more variables for that to happen; because of its hazardousness, it’s rarely used for treatment.
I would uninvent the use of opioids as a pain relief. Though they are extremely effective, they are too effective and it is a really big problem. From a logical, objective, standpoint, opioids cost billions of dollars a year. Between the cost of making, distributing, over doses, methadone clinics, narcan production, ambulance rides, and the many other costs involved with this terrible addiction it is bad for the economy. Not to mention the draw it has on society as a whole. Many addicts are unemployed, having children and then abandoning them, cause car accidents, creating public disturbances and destroying property. Addicts are a complete nuisance in society and rarely contribute. But it is not their fault, addiction is a disease they cannot
While most drugs are a combination of substances derived and created in varying circumstances, morphine is unique in the fact that it is one of twenty parts of the drug called opium that is derived from the opium poppy plant (Arbog, 2005, p. 1 ). Instead of being created through the mixing of substances, a usable form of morphine can simply be filtered out of the opium plant. Therefore to understand the history of morphine it is important to understand how the opium plant came into the spectrum of medical use in the first place.
The opioids are a class of prescription drugs that physicians use to treat pain. Common opioids include hydrocodone (Vicodin), oxycodone (OxyContin, Percocet), morphine (Kadian, Avinza), and codeine. When in the amounts prescribed, these drugs are helpful to the body in relieving pain. However, when individuals abuse these drugs and take them in a larger quantity than needed, they can act similarly to and produce the same effects as illicit drugs.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has classified prescription drug abuse (PDA) as the nation's fastest-rising drug issue and an epidemic (White House, ND). Prescription drug abuse is the use of a medication without a prescription, for the experience or feelings elicited from the medication or not using the drug as prescribed (National institute on drug abuse (NIDA), 2014). Three classes of medications frequently abused include opioids, depressants, and stimulants (NIDA, 2014).
