analgesic
analgesic A substance that reduces pain without causing unconsciousness, either by reducing the pain threshold or by increasing pain tolerance. There are several categories of analgesic drugs, including morphine and its derivatives (see
opiate), which produce analgesia by acting on the central nervous system; nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g.
aspirin); and local anaesthetics.
