ANALGESIC – PAIN KILLER

An analgesic or painkiller is any member of the group of drugs used to relief the pain. Analgesic drugs affecting directly to the nervous systems in various ways contain Paracetamol, the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and Morphine or Oxycodone. This kind of drugs becomes one of the most common medicines not only in the daily life when you are getting headache, stomachache or toothache, but also in medical services because it is able to relieve severe pain without causing anesthesia.

Analgesics fall into two major types: anti-inflammatory drugs, which reduce pain by reducing local inflammatory responses; and the opioids, which act on the brain.  The opioid analgesics used to be called narcotic drugs because they can make users fall asleep and could be used either short-term or long-term relief of severe pain (known as chronic pains) which last over three months and severe enough to impair function and is more difficult to treat. Whereas, the anti-inflammatory medicines are only used for short-term period and in order to alleviate some sudden or temporary pains (known as Acute pains) such as headache, muscle strain, bruising, childbirth and arthritis.

However, like other medicines, analgesics also bring side effects as well. People who want to use analgesics as pain-killer should review side effects of each drug. The most common side effect associated with analgesics is Stinging of Skin and Skin Irritation. Besides, there are some rare side effects of analgesics such as Allergic Reaction, Hives, Skin Ulcer.
