Objectives: To verify the knowledges brings over of the pharmacology of the analgesics and the basic principles in the treatment of the pain among the students of infirmary and to inform the teachers to prioritize the above mentioned knowledges. Design: A survey was realized to 55 pupils (53 women and 2 males) of the third course of the School of Infirmary of our city. Material and methods: The questions gathered in crowds in two blocks: 1. Pharmacology of analgesics: to identify the "narcotic" medicaments of those who it are not. 2. Basic knowledges of the treatment of the pain: analgesic stairs, indications of the morphine, tolerance, etc., as well as the need of the pain and his attitude before whom he suffers it. Results: A 87% of the sample considered the cocaine to be a "narcotic", on the dolantina the information was dispersed, and a high percentage of them they could not fit powerful analgesics as the metamizol or ketorolaco. The level of basic knowledges in the treatment of the pain was acceptable, though we must bear in mind that in 25% they thought that the increase of the dose of morphine was due to the development of addiction. Conclusions: We observe the need to penetrate more into the fundamental pharmacology of the analgesics, must be priority in the formation of pregrado and it makes us happy to state the change towards a better knowledge of the basic principles of the treatment of the pain in the new generations of Infirmary.
