When the cells in your body are hurt, they release prostaglandins  then when you take a painkiller it stops your hurt or damaged cells from releasing or making prostaglandins. ]]> 2018-04-02 15:47:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mr83855/zccuvpsajr1m/wish/247843571 mr83855 https://padlet.com/mr83855/zccuvpsajr1m/wish/248171819 The painkiller knows where to go in your body because special nerve endings send pain to your brain and the painkiller interferes with that and they find the hurt cells that are releasing prostaglandins. ]]> 2018-04-03 15:40:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mr83855/zccuvpsajr1m/wish/248171819 mr83855 https://padlet.com/mr83855/zccuvpsajr1m/wish/248174886 If you are wondering how long it takes for a painkiller to kick in, it takes about 30-45 minutes to kick in depending on what painkiller you take. A lot of people think that it kicks in right away, but it doesn't, so don't think that your painkiller isn't working but it is working, it just hasn't kicked in yet.]]> 2018-04-03 15:45:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mr83855/zccuvpsajr1m/wish/248174886 mr83855 https://padlet.com/mr83855/zccuvpsajr1m/wish/248936294 Prostaglandins is something that your cells release when you are hurt.

That is usually on the back of the box. Most medicines say that you should take it every 4-6 hours but it is different for most medicine's. ]]> 2018-04-16 15:52:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mr83855/zccuvpsajr1m/wish/252212964 mr83855 https://padlet.com/mr83855/zccuvpsajr1m/wish/252639234 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOSDrTn80d0]]> 2018-04-17 15:52:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mr83855/zccuvpsajr1m/wish/252639234 mr83855 https://padlet.com/mr83855/zccuvpsajr1m/wish/253126350 http://whoami.sciencemuseum.org.uk/whoami/findoutmore/yourbrain/howdodrugsaffectyourbrain/howdopainkillerswork
