Introduction
Liver cancer pain can usually be managed with medications such as acetaminophen tablets, acetaminophen and dihydrocodeine bitartrate tablets, and sorafenib tosylate tablets. When liver cancer patients experience mild pain, they may take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as acetaminophen tablets. The active ingredient in acetaminophen inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins, thereby relieving pain symptoms.
Patients with liver cancer-related pain can usually take medications such as acetaminophen tablets, acetaminophen and dihydrocodeine tartrate tablets, and sorafenib tosylate tablets. The details are as follows:
1. Acetaminophen Tablets
For liver cancer patients experiencing mild pain, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as acetaminophen tablets may be used. The active ingredient in acetaminophen inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins, thereby relieving pain symptoms.
2. Acetaminophen and Dihydrocodeine Tartrate Tablets
This medication contains ingredients including acetaminophen and tartaric acid dihydrocodeine. It provides broad-spectrum analgesic effects by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis and blocking impulses in pain-sensitive nerve endings, thus alleviating pain.
3. Sorafenib Tosylate Tablets
In addition, antineoplastic agents for treating liver cancer, such as sorafenib tosylate tablets, should also be used. Sorafenib tosylate is an anticancer drug whose active components act directly on liver cancer cells, helping reduce localized pain and discomfort.
Besides the above medications, other drugs such as ibuprofen sustained-release capsules, aspirin enteric-coated tablets, and tramadol hydrochloride sustained-release tablets may also be used. Medications should be taken under the guidance of a qualified physician; self-medication should be avoided to prevent adverse reactions.
