Up to one in three Irish adults may be suffering from chronic pain, while addiction to pain relief medicines is a massive concern in Ireland, pharmacists have warned.
Catriona O’Riordan, a pharmacist from Cork and National Pharmacy Conference (IPU) executive committee member, spoke at the IPU’s annual conference in Galway at the weekend.
O’Riordan noted:
Chronic pain does not command significant attention but it is a debilitating condition, which can seriously affect the quality of life of a sufferer.
