Best Answer

Pain pills that are made for relieving headaches usually contain some caffeine along with the pain medication because small amounts of it can help constrict blood vessels which may be a contributor to the pain in the head.

What medicines are non narcotic drugs?

I'll assume we're talking about pain relievers, since the list of non-narcotic drugs would be rather large! Narcotic pain relievers are generally drugs which act on the Opium receptors in the brain. Non narcotic pain relievers act without affecting the Opium receptors. Over the Counter pain relievers such as Tylenol, Aspirin, Motrin, Advil, and Aleve are non-narcotic pain relievers. There are many other non-narcotic pain relievers on prescription as well. Most fall in the category of Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatories (NSAIDs), Naproxen, Relafen, Celebrex, Indomethacin, and Meloxicam are a few of these. There is also a non-narcotic pain reliever named Tramadol which is in it's own category.
