[Pharmacology of non-opioid analgesics].

This article sums up the basic pharmacology and main adverse effects of these analgesics. Non-opioids can be further classified according to their additional mechanisms of action besides analgesia. High-dose acetylsalicylic acid, traditional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and coxibs exhibit antipyretic and anti-inflammatory properties. Acetaminophen and metamizole (dipyrone) are analgesics and antipyretic agents, while metamizole exhibits also spasmolytic effects. Capsaicin and intrathecal ziconotide are pure analgesics.
