Introduction 

Opioids are a class of drugs that interact with specific receptors in the brain and spinal cord, known as opioid receptors, to produce effects such as pain relief, sedation, and feelings of euphoria. They are commonly used to treat pain, both acute and chronic, but can also be used for other purposes, such as treating coughing and diarrhea.
