Market Introduction
What are Opioids?
A class of drugs known as opioids is used to treat moderate to severe pain. Opioids can be produced from the plant of opium poppy or in a laboratory. By attaching themselves to opioid receptors on nerve cells in the nervous system or other body organs, they block pain signals. Opioids affect the brain in many ways, including reducing pain. Both illegal and prescription painkillers contain opioids. Because opioids can cause euphoria or a “high,” some people use them by illegal means. Opioid use disorder (OUD), another name for addiction, can be brought on by opioid drugs.
