The Problem with a “Pill-First” Culture

Over-the-counter and prescription painkillers are everywhere. But here’s what many patients don’t realise:

• They don’t treat the root cause of your pain

• Long-term use can lead to dependence, reduced effectiveness, and unwanted side effects

• They can delay a proper diagnosis or access to better treatments

The result? Many people are stuck in a cycle of temporary relief and long-term frustration.
