Analgesics are a class of medications used to relieve pain without causing loss of consciousness. In toxicology, analgesics play a crucial role in managing pain resulting from exposure to toxic agents, such as chemical burns or poisoning. However, the use of analgesics must be carefully considered to avoid exacerbating the toxic effects or contributing to further complications. Common analgesics include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), opioids, and acetaminophen.
