Opioids-Opium

Opioids, derived from opium, are a class of powerful pain-relieving medications that interact with opioid receptors in the brain and nervous system. They are commonly prescribed to manage severe pain, but can also be misused, leading to addiction and other adverse effects. Opioids, originating from the opium plant, have a long history of medical and recreational use.
