    GlossaryAnalgesics (Pain relievers)

    medications that relieve pain without causing unconsciousness

    Analgesics, commonly known as painkillers or pain relievers, are medications designed to relieve pain without causing the loss of consciousness. They work by blocking pain signals from reaching the brain or by interfering with the brain's interpretation of those signals. Examples include over-the-counter options like ibuprofen and acetaminophen, as well as prescription medications such as opioids.
