However, due to its narcotic effects, it became a popular recreational drug and addiction to laudanum was a significant problem. With its harmful effects, many other safer drugs and natural remedies had been developed for the same purpose. Some of the synonyms for laudanum include narcotics, opiates, sedatives, and analgesics. Amidst the advancements in medicine and technology, using laudanum is no longer a recommended treatment option and instead, alternative methods are preferred for managing pain and other related conditions.
