Narcotic analgesics use a narcotic (usually an opiod) to relieve pain, they are more effective at removing pain, but they can cause pretty drastic dependency and have high potential for abuse. Non-Narcotic analgesics go through other pathways, they do not pose much risk for abuse, but they are typically not as effective especially for acute pain.
Narcotics are pain relieving drugs that can be addictive. They may also be severely constipating.
Both of them are pain killers. Pain killing comes through seduction of the nerve tissue in the brain or neuro-muscular junctions. Narcotics are addictive, but analgesics - no. (but all that depends on dose and frequency of aministration).

The word 'assassin' comes from the Arabic word 'hashish,' which is what almost everyone outside of the US calls the narcotic, marijuana.
My name is sharmake kaytoon: As i think the difference between them is: Opiod analgesics: is to reduce a pain which is chronic or very severe, and the drugs that reduce this pain occur on their opiod receptors in the central nervous system. NSAIDS: These drugs also have some affect of reducing pain but their target of reducing pain is not like that of opiod analgesic drugs, but they block the synthesis of prostaglandins and so that the nerve terminal will not conduct any pain to the CNS.....
