Awareness on pain relief
Shionogi is actively working not only on research and development of medicine, but also on educational activities so that we can contribute to alleviating the suffering from cancer pain and lower-back pain.
Advances in medicine and medical care have increased the average life expectancy, but we can also improve healthy life expectancy for people to live a lively life in their own way.
We are engaged in various CSR activities with the hope that patients who suffer from pain will be released from their worries and suffering and can live peaceful lives in their own way.
Collaboration with local governments
We are engaged in educational activities for correct knowledge of illegal drugs, proper use of medical narcotics, and palliative care in local communities.

"Gan No Tsurasa-Tsurasa Kiite Tsutaete-“
Cancer causes physical, mental and social “pain”.
Our website provides information about various types of "pain" as well as information for patients to properly communicate their "pain" to medical professionals without worrying by themselves.

To relieve your pain and suffering
From a patient’s point of view From a doctor's point of view
From a nurse‘s point of view From a pharmacist's point of view
It is important for cancer patients not to put up with the pain, but to communicate their pain to the medical professionals and people around them without hesitation. Our YouTube introduces tips to communicate pain, suffering, and feeling uneasy.
