Medicines that target the central nervous system are known as central nervous system agents (CNS). The Central Nervous System (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord, processes and controls the majority of our body activities.
Analgesics, anticonvulsants, antiemetics, antiparkinson agents, CNS stimulants, muscle relaxants, narcotic analgesics (pain relievers), nonnarcotic analgesics (such as acetaminophen and NSAIDs), and sedatives are just a few of the numerous pharmaceuticals that function on the central nervous system.
