AB Some  textbooks  put  these  drugs  after  the  opiate  analgesics  and  others  group  the  antiarthritis  drugs  together.  Basically,  we  will  consider  here  some  salient  features  of  the  nonnarcotic  analgesics  and  some  of  the  anti-inflammatory  agents.  I’ve  also  included  the  drugs  used  for  gout  and  migraines.  The  largest  group  of  drugs  here  is  the  nonsteroidal  anti-inflammatory  drugs  (NSAIDs).  This  group  includes  aspirin  and  the  salicylates.  However,  the  salicylates  and  aspirin  have  some  important  special  features,  so  I  have  separated  them  to  emphasize  these  features.
