"止痛藥"是一種泛稱，究竟是代表哪些藥物呢?
原來NSAID也算是止痛藥~~消炎鎮痛阿:P
An analgesic (colloquially known as a painkiller) is any member of the diverse group of drugs used to relieve pain (achieve analgesia). The word analgesic derives from Greek an- ("without") and -algia ("pain"). Analgesic drugs act in various ways on the peripheral and central nervous systems; they include paracetamol (acetaminophen), the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as the salicylates, narcotic drugs such as morphine, synthetic drugs with narcotic properties such as tramadol, and various others.
In choosing analgesia, the severity and response to other medication determines the choice of agent; the WHO "pain ladder", originally developed in cancer-related pain, is widely applied to find suitable drugs in a stepwise manner.[1] The choice of analgesia is also determined by the type of pain: for neuropathic pain, traditional analgesia is less effective, and there is often benefit from classes of drugs that are not normally considered analgesics, such as tricyclic antidepressants and anticonvulsants.[2]
