What is the difference in the mechanism of action of NSAIDs and opiate analgesics?
opiate analgesics have a narcotic added into a pain reliever. The narcotic binds to pain receptors in the central nervous system. This also produces central nervous system depression. NSAIDS inhibit prostaglandin synthesis, which promote swelling and inflammation. NSAIDS inhibit the production of these, therefore, they help with the swelling and inflammation that accompany the event that precipitates pain. Each pain reliever has its pros and cons.

Is hydrocodone an opitate?
The terms opiate and opioid have similar, yet slightly different, meanings. Properly, opiates are only narcotic analgesics derived from the opium poppy (codeine and morphine). Opioids are narcotic analgesics that have similar activity to opiates (heroin, oxycodone, fentanyl, methadone, etc.) Thus, hydrocodone is an opioid, not an opiate. However, these words are increasingly being used interchangeably, and some would now consider them to be synonymous.
