Analgesics are neurological active drugs that reduce or abolish pain without causing impairment of consciousness, mental confusion, incoordination or paralysis or some other disturbances of nervous system. Antipyretics are chemical substances which reduce body temperature during high fever. Antibiotics are chemical substances produced wholly or partly by chemical synthesis, which in low concentrations inhibit the growth or destroy microorganisms by intervening in their metabolic processes. Antimicrobials tend to destroy/prevent development or inhibit the pathogenic action of microbes such as bacteria, fungi, virus or other parasites selectively. Answer: Analgesic
