Narcotic and antipyretic drugs

 .Narcotic drugs

Originally, the term "narcotic" (/nrktk/, from the Greek vnark, "to make numb") was used in medicine to describe any psychoactive substance with sleep-inducing characteristics. Since then, it has come to be associated with opiates and opioids in the US, most notably morphine and heroin, as well as derivatives of several substances present in unprocessed opium latex. Morphine, codeine, and thebaine are the top three (while thebaine itself is only very mildly psychoactive, it is a crucial precursor in the vast majority of semi-synthetic opioids, such as oxycodone). The term "narcotic" has ambiguous legal definitions and frequently has a bad reputation. [1] [2] A narcotic drug, such as heroin or cannabis, is simply one that is completely illegal or one that is used in violation of regulatory regulations when used legally in the US.
