good question.. the answer is yes and no.. in a way it is a narcotic because its technically an opioid medication(relating to the opium poppy) because of its activity on the opioid receptors in our bodies so that would make it a narcotic. also, it can drowsiness which is where the word "narcotic" is derived from. but also, in a sense it is not a very powerful narcotic pain medicine as in comparison to drugs like oxycodone and hydromorphone. so it works like most narcotic pain medicines by acting on some of the same receptor sites, but as far as potency is concerned, it is a fairly weak medication for pain.
