Options:

Ibuprofen

Morphine

Prontosil

Codiene

Correct Answer:

Ibuprofen

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1. Ibuprofen.

The non-narcotic analgesic from the options provided is Ibuprofen. Ibuprofen is a commonly used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that exhibits analgesic (pain-relieving), anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic (fever-reducing) properties. It is widely used to relieve pain associated with various conditions such as headaches, muscle aches, arthritis, menstrual cramps, and minor injuries. Unlike narcotics such as morphine and codeine, ibuprofen does not produce significant sedation or euphoria and is not associated with addiction or dependence when used appropriately.
