  • Aspirin belongs to narcotic analgesics.
  • B
    It is effective in relieving pain.
  • C
    It has antiblood clotting action.
  • D
    It is a neurologically active drug.

Answer

Correct option: A.
Aspirin belongs to narcotic analgesics.
Aspirin inhibits the synthesis of compounds known as prostaglandins which stimulate inflammation in the tissues and cause pain. So, it is effective in relieving pain.
Aspirin has many other effects such as reducing fever $($antipyretic$)$ and preventing blood platelet coagulation. Because of this anti$-$blood clotting
action, it is widely used to prevent heart attacks. It does not make a person addictive as it is non$-$narcotic drug.
