The
rapid advancement in our knowledge of the pathophysiology and pharmacology
of acute and chronic pain necessitates an on-going update of this
drug handbook.
For this edition of Sota Omoigui's Pain Drug Handbook, information
on all drugs has been updated and numerous drugs from diverse classes
have been added. These include alendronate, botulinum toxin, celecoxib,
cosyntropin, dextromethorphan, dihydroergotamine, gabapentin, leflunomide,
nabumetone, pamidronate, pentosan polysulfate sodium, ropivacaine,
sertraline and tramadol. There is also a section on compounded topical
medications, which is another exciting frontier in our battle to
conquer pain. I express my gratitude to Neil Badlani R.Ph and Wally
Saika Pharm.D at B& B Pharmacy in Bellflower, California. They
were an excellent resource in compiling this section.
Special thanks to the consulting editors for their meticulous and
professional work. I wish to thank my family including my parents
Daniel and Grace and my siblings Nowa, Ifueko, Eghosa and Nosa -
for their love and support. Finally, I thank my publisher James
Kroschell of Blackwell Scientific Publishers for his support and
assistance. Every day, we are able to help more patients with new
knowledge and insight. This book will be a valuable resource to
all healthcare providers who will inevitably encounter a patient
with pain.
