Epidemiology of Narcotic Analgesics. The use of narcotic analgesics is not widespread compared to other pain relievers, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, and beta-agonists. The overall prevalence of narcotic analgesics for therapeutic uses in sports is less than 1%.

However, since individual sensitivity to the development of this side effect is highly dose dependent and may vary depending which opioid analgesic is used, many patients can avoid this side effect simply through dose reduction of the opioid drug (usually accompanied by the addition of a supplemental non-opioid analgesic), rotating between different opioid drugs, or by switching to a milder.
