The NSAIDs include acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), dipyrone (metamizole), and numerous other drugs in diverse classes.

Opioid Analgesic Drugs

2013
Opioid analgesics are one of the most commonly administered groups of drugs in hospitals. These drugs show common structural features, bind specifically to opioid receptors and possess morphine-like pharmacologic action. Tramadol differs from other opioid analgesics in its monoaminergic activity as well as its affinity for the μ opioid receptor.

Analgesics, opioids, and NSAIDs

2020
In this chapter, we discuss nociceptive treatment targets for pain in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Sustained nociceptive input, as found in RA, can lead to changes in central pain processing.

Analgesics and Opioids

2009
Analgesia may be enhanced with non-opioid and opioid analgesics, as well as coanalgesic agents. Non-opioid analgesics and short-acting opioids in chronic pain should be limited to infrequent, intermittent use for severe pain flares. Long-term risk for gastric and renal toxicity with analgesics is minimized with opioid analgesics ...

Abstract The International Association for the Study of Pain defines pain as ‘an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage or described in such terms of such damage’. This definition of the pain experience thus combines both the phenomenon of nociception (the sensory nervous system's response to ...

Opioid Analgesics and Opioid Antagonists

1980
By opioid is meant any drug, regardless of chemical structure, that acts like morphine. The term opioid is preferred to the older term, opiate, for two reasons: first, because opiate implies presence in or derivation from opium, which indeed contains the analgesic drugs morphine and codeine but also contains thebaine, a strong stimulant (convulsive ...

Opioids and Other Analgesics [PDF]

open access: possible, 2000
This chapter is concerned with those pain-killing drugs (analgesics) that are most likely to be misused, ranging from propoxyphene (Darvon) through the synthetic, opiatelike drugs to the major opiates, including morphine and heroin. The generalizations made here apply to almost all prescription painkillers with the exception of the newer prescription ...

Non-Opioid Analgesics

2006
Tramadol is a moderately potent analgesic [1, 2]. It is an aminocyclohexanol derivative or phenylpiperidine analogue of codeine and its analgesic effect is mediated through noradrenaline re-uptake inhibition, both increased release and decreased re-uptake of serotonin in the spinal cord and very weak μ-opioid receptor effect [1, 3–5].
