I can certainly say that in my own practice I've never used the phrase “strong drug” to a patient. I would say this is going to provide significant pain relief or it's a medication that we have to be careful with. When we counsel our patients day in, day out, we want to make sure they're fully educated on the particular medication. If it does seem that it's an inappropriate medication, we consult with physicians and prescribers to make sure that we keep patients safe.
