What Are Opioids?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Opioids are chemicals or drugs that act on a specific part of the brain called opioid receptors. Our bodies actually produce a small amount of natural opioids that bind to those receptors to help us deal with pain and calm us down. Prescription opioids bind to these same receptors. They were intended to help with severe or chronic pain, but they can also produce a heightened sense of pleasure or euphoria for some people.<\/p>\n

The Poppy Plant<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Original opioids like morphine were made from the poppy plant, but now many prescription opioids are synthetic versions that have been created in a laboratory. Some of the common opioids include hydrocodone (Vicodin), oxycodone (OxyContin or Percocet), oxymorphone (Opana), morphine (Kadian or Avinza), codeine and fentanyl.<\/p>\n

Ano ang Opioids? Ang mga opioid ay mga kemikal o gamot na kumikilos sa isang partikular na bahagi ng utak na tinatawag na mga opioid receptor. Ang aming mga katawan ay talagang gumagawa ng kaunting natural na opioid na nagbubuklod sa mga receptor na iyon upang tulungan kaming harapin ang sakit at pakalmahin kami.
