Pain tablets taken by mouth for post-caesarean pain | Cochrane
Tablets are convenient and easy to take to ease the pain after caesarean section, which involves cutting through the abdomen and uterus to deliver the baby. We aimed to assess the effectiveness, safety and cost-effectiveness of different types of tablets for the pain. Different types of pain tablets relieve the pain in different ways. Opioids decrease the feeling of pain, decrease reaction to pain as well as increase pain tolerance by their action on the nervous system. Some non-opioid pain tablets act on the tissues to reduce the response to the inflammatory substances released at the site of tissue damage. Combination drugs (such as paracetamol and codeine) may have more pronounced effects because of the different mechanism of action of their components. We do not know how some other tablets, such as alpha-2 agonists (clonidine) and gabapentin (usually used for nerve pain that follows shingles and long-term pain) relieve pain. Good pain control may shorten the time spent in hospital after caesarean section, improve satisfaction and reduce healthcare costs.

Oral painkillers available without prescription for acute pain | Cochrane
Acute pain is often felt soon after injury, and is of short duration. Most people who have surgery have moderate or severe pain afterwards. Painkillers (analgesics) are tested in people with pain, often following the removal of wisdom teeth. Study participants have to have at least moderate pain levels and the pain is usually treated with painkillers taken by mouth. This overview is useful mainly for acute pain lasting only a few days or weeks, and not for chronic pain lasting for many months. For this overview we have not included information from reviews on migraine, tension headache, or period pain.
