Abstrakt     Pain has a detrimental effect on patient quality of life, thus its good control is essential. As healthcare professionals, pharmacists meet patients treated with opioids every day, and may have an important role in assuring good pain control in these patients. When dispensing opioid drugs, patients should be asked about their level of pain control as well as consulted about the possible adverse effects of these drugs and their treatment. This level of pharmaceutical care can be achieved only by pharmacists with adequate competences in pain management. This article is the first step towards the needed theoretical basis: the role of opioids in the treatment of pain is presented and the guidelines recommendations are reinforced with the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties of these drugs.
