According to how it works: (quote) Acts as agonist at specific opioid receptors in the CNS to produce analgesia, euphoria, sedation; the receptors mediating these effects are thought to be the same as those mediating the effects of endogenous opioids (enkephalins, endorphins).(end).
It is agonist meaning that it helps the receptors in the brain and spinal cord to be more open to the actions of sedation and reduces the feeling of pain. All-in-all, it acts just like opium (opiate).

Why pethidine causes tacycardia?

Pethidine, also known as meperidine, can cause tachycardia primarily due to its anticholinergic effects, which inhibit the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. This inhibition can lead to increased heart rate as the parasympathetic nervous system's control over heart rate is diminished. Additionally, pethidine can cause the release of histamine, which may also contribute to cardiovascular effects, including increased heart rate.
