My name is sharmake kaytoon:

As i think the difference between them is:

Opiod analgesics: is to reduce a pain which is chronic or very severe, and

the drugs that reduce this pain occur on their opiod

receptors in the central nervous system.

NSAIDS: These drugs also have some affect of reducing pain but their target of reducing pain is not like that of opiod analgesic drugs, but they block the synthesis of prostaglandins and so that the nerve terminal will not conduct any pain to the CNS.....

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.

What is the function of analgesics?

Analgesics are medications designed to relieve pain without causing loss of consciousness. They work by targeting specific pathways in the nervous system to reduce the perception of pain. Analgesics can be classified into two main categories: non-opioid analgesics, such as acetaminophen and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and opioid analgesics, which are stronger and used for more severe pain. Overall, their primary function is to improve quality of life by alleviating discomfort and pain.


What compounds present in some analgesics might interfere with aspirin?

Some analgesics, particularly nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen and naproxen, can interfere with the antiplatelet effects of aspirin. This is due to their competitive inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which can diminish aspirin's ability to irreversibly inhibit COX-1 in platelets. As a result, taking these NSAIDs concurrently with aspirin may reduce its effectiveness in preventing cardiovascular events. Additionally, certain compounds like caffeine, which is sometimes included in combination analgesics, can also influence the efficacy of aspirin.


What is the difference between narcotics and analgestics?

Both of them are pain killers. Pain killing comes through seduction of the nerve tissue in the brain or neuro-muscular junctions. Narcotics are addictive, but analgesics - no. (but all that depends on dose and frequency of aministration).
