ABSTRACT:
The article clarifies that pain in obesity is not obesity and pain. The authors reviewed the literature and surveyed the clinical data about pain in people with abnormal body weight. The conclusion was made that pain in obese patients needs adequate management. Data for pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics characteristics of frequently used analgesic drugs are summarized. The authors include useful schemas of pharmacotherapy with non-opioid as well as opioid analgesics and practical guidelines for pain management in clinical ward or outpatient departments.

Key words: obesity, pain, analgesic drugs, pharmacokinetics, pharmacotherapy,
