(b) It is a neurologically active drug.
(c) It has antiblood clotting action.
(d) It belongs to narcotic analgesics.

Answer 1

The statement "  It belongs to narcotic analgesics." is not true about Aspirin.

Option (D) is not true.

Explanation:

• Aspirin is a painkiller and belongs to the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
• Narcotic analgesic means a drug like morphine or any opium-derived compound which relieves the pain and induces sleep.
• Aspirin is neither derived from opium nor induces the sleep.
• Therefore, it is not a narcotic analgesic.
• However, it is effective in relieving pain, it has anti blood clotting action and is a neurologically active drug.

Thus the statement "  It belongs to narcotic analgesics." is not true about Aspirin.
