Introduction: Analgesics are among the most widely used drugs worldwide. The French Addictovigilance Network (FAN) established the antalgiques stupéfiants et ordonnances sécurisées (ASOS [narcotic analgesics and secure prescriptions]) survey in order to assess the dissemination of tamper-resistant prescription forms for narcotic analgesic within the medical community, as well as the nature and evolution of the prescriptions. After outlining the missions of the FAN, this article will describe the population treated with narcotic analgesics in France, their therapeutic indications and how the data have evolved since 2007.

In Japan, 14 opioids with a variety of dosage forms, such as oral preparation, injection, transdermal patch, transmucosal and suppository are clinically available as analgesics, and their use properly depends on the type and degree of pain and patient condition. Fundamentally, strong opioids are restricted to only treatment of cancer pain, while the indication of fentanyl transdermal patch and oxycodone tamper resistant tablet has been expanded for the treatment of non-cancer chronic pain. In US, the additional indication of opioids to chronic pain has led to prolongation and generalization of opioid use, which may contribute to "opioid crisis" in which opioid-related death strikingly increased due to opioid abuse and overdose-induced respiratory depression.
