There are many different kinds of pain medication available to treat back pain. There are of course the over the counter medications like Tylenol, aspirin, Excedrin, Vanquish, Nuprin, and of course the generic brands of the before mentioned medications.

If those do not work, there are other medications that can be prescribed by a licensed physician. One of the other types of drugs are called opioids and other narcotics. Sometimes the treating physician will prescribe an NSAID with a narcotic to relieve pain associated with inflammation. Morphine and codeine are commonly known opiates derived from opium. Other opioids include synthetics such as meperidine (Demerol) and chemicals naturally found in the body, such as endorphin.

There can be side effects from any type of medication because it works differently with different people. Always check with your doctor before taking any medication.
