Paracetamol is part of the class of drugs known as "aniline analgesics"; it is the only such drug still in use today. It is classified as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) by some sources, and not as an NSAID by others,while most sources implicitly distinguish them, for example by mentioning both NSAIDs and paracetamol in the same sentence. Paracetamol has few anti-inflammatory effects in comparison to NSAIDs. However, aspirin, paracetamol and other NSAIDs all act by the same mechanism (inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis) and all show varying levels of analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and antiplatelet actions
