Key Points

Analgesics ​

  • Analgesics reduce or abolish pain without causing impairment of consciousness, mental confusion, incoordination or paralysis, or some other disturbances of the nervous system. Hence, Statement 1 is incorrect.
  • These are classified as follows:
  1. Non-narcotic (non-addictive) analgesics
  • Aspirin and paracetamol belong to the class of non-narcotic analgesics. Aspirin is the most familiar example.
  1. Narcotic drugs  
  • Morphine and many of its homologs, when administered in medicinal doses, relieve pain and produce sleep.
  • In poisonous doses, these produce stupor, coma, convulsions, and ultimately death.

Antibiotics 

  • Antibiotics are used as drugs to treat infections because of their low toxicity for humans and animals. Hence, Statement 2 is incorrect.
  • Initially, antibiotics were classified as chemical substances produced by microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, and molds) that inhibit growth or even destroy microorganisms.
  • The development of synthetic methods has helped in synthesizing some of the compounds that were originally discovered as products of microorganisms.
