With the up-scheduling of codeine to prescription-only, pharmacists must re-think approaches to pain management. The utility of NSAIDs in the pain managing paradigm is well-established, with a range of NSAIDs available over-the-counter, each with varying safety profiles, efficacy and appropriateness based on the patient’s characteristics and current disease states. This session will explore the range of NSAIDs available over-the-counter, including ibuprofen, diclofenac and naproxen, and where these fit in the management of a range of pain types. Learning objectives • Discuss various factors that contribute to pain, including lifestyle circumstances such as obesity and ageing • List the types of pain in which NSAIDs may be appropriate • Discuss and compare a range of NSAIDs and NSAID-combination products (e.g. paracetamol/ibuprofen, paracetamol/naproxen) based on efficacy, duration of action, safety profile and adverse effects, COX-selectivity and indications • Discuss the efficacy of NSAIDs compared to codeine-based products • Identify and discuss lifestyle modifications that may assist in pain management • Utilise empathy and engagement with patients to provide patient-centered care and promote self-management and empowerment • Identify referral pathways for pain management Competency standards: • 2016: 1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.4.1, 2.2.1, 2.2.2, 2.2.3, 2.3.1, 2.3.2, 3.1.1, 3.1.2, 3.1.3, 3.2.2, 3.2.5, 3.3.1, 3.3.2, 3.3.3, 3.6.2 • 2010: 1.2.1, 2.1.3, 2.3.1, 2.3.2, 2.3.3, 4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.2.3, 4.3.3, 6.1.1, 6.1.2, 6.2.1, 6.2.2, 6.2.3, 6.2.4, 6.3.3, 7.1.2, 7.1.3, 7.1.4
