Question

Howlong does painkillers take to get into ur system?

Answer 1

Most pain killers taken by mouth will have full effect after 30-60 minutes.

Pain killers given directly into blood (iv) will work in few minutes.

Answer 2

It depends on the medication, but most oral analgesics take effect in 15-60 minutes.  Non-opioids and immediate-release forms would be on the shorter end of the scale; sustained-release preparations would be on the longer end.  When administered by IV, as in a hospital setting, much of the analgesia will be present in 5 minutes.
