 Encyclopedia: Analgesic
Analgesic drugs include the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as the salicylates, narcotic drugs such as morphine, and synthetic drugs with morphinelike action such as meperidine (Demerol) and propoxyphene (Darvon).
Analgesic drugs act in various ways on the peripheral and central nervous system; they include paracetamol (acetaminophen), the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as the salicylates, narcotic drugs such as morphine, synthetic drugs with narcotic properties such as tramadol, and various others.
Analgesics are frequently used in combination, such as the paracetamol (acetaminophen) and codeine preparations found in many non-prescription pain relievers.

 MedlinePlus Drug Information: Narcotic Analgesics For Pain Relief (Systemic)
Narcotic (nar-KOT-ik) analgesics (an-al-JEE-zicks) are used to relieve pain.
Narcotic analgesics may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Some examples of CNS depressants are antihistamines or medicine for hay fever, other allergies, or colds; sedatives, tranquilizers, or sleeping medicine; other prescription pain medicines including other narcotics; barbiturates; medicine for seizures; muscle relaxants; or anesthetics, including some dental anesthetics.

 The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus Development Program: Analgesic-Associated Kidney Disease
The pathogenesis of the condition is uncertain but may involve a direct cytotoxic action of the analgesics on the renal papilla, perhaps enhanced by ischemia.
Further basic epidemiological research is needed to elucidate the relationship between analgesic use and mild forms of the disease.
Current evidence suggests that the key to the prevention of analgesic nephropathy is to halt the inappropriate use of analgesics.

 analgesic --  Britannica Student Encyclopedia
Analgesics are drugs that relieve pain selectively without affecting consciousness or sensory perception.
Centrally acting analgesics are thought to affect the opiate receptors in the brain and perhaps also those in the spinal cord.
This selectivity in relieving pain is an important distinction between an analgesic and an anesthetic.

 Improving Analgesic Drug Development: What's Needed
The expense and uncertainty of analgesic drug development also present barriers to the development of novel drug therapies to improve pain management, much less to prevent the development of chronic pain.
This necessary revision will encourage development of new analgesics and treatment strategies, especially in the areas of chronic pain and combination drug therapy, and encourage the validation of individual responder analyses.
Recognizing that acute and chronic pain research and therapy represent a scientific continuum crossing diseases, scientific disciplines, and clinical specialties suggests transorganizational efforts are needed to translate scientific advances into improved pain relief.

 Oral Analgesic Drugs
More potent opioid analgesic such as meperdine, pentazocine and hydromorphone hydrochloride are generally not indicated for pain following periodontal surgery, but are used parentally for severe pain related to more intensive surgical procedures such as abdominal surgery.
Patients with a low pain threshold and/or patients who have undergone periodontal surgery that is more extensive in the areas involved, the techniques used or in the time needed, may benefit from using a long acting supplemental local anesthesia such as bupivacaine eg., Marcaine given at the conclusion of the surgery.
Control of postoperative pain following periodontal surgery involves choosing the analgesic regime that is appropriate for each patient.

 Volume IX
Although this issue of Pain: Clinical Updates focuses on analgesic tolerance, it is now clear that the biology of analgesic tolerance has much in common with mechanisms thought to produce and maintain pathological pain.
Whatever mechanism is involved, therapeutic strategies to diminish dynorphin release in the spinal cord could enhance opioid analgesic sensitivity in pathological pain states and reduce the development of antinociceptive tolerance.
Further study is needed to explain the dichotomy between the apparent lack of opioid analgesic tolerance in patients with persistent pain states versus the marked analgesic tolerance found in patients receiving methadone maintenance therapy
