No, it is not an NSAID which is the nonsteroidal antiflammatory drug. NSAIDS do not contain narcotic meds as a rule, unless the doctor prescribes that script in such a fashion. Some of the most common NSAIDS are Advil, Motrin (ibuprofen generic name), Naproxen and Alleve.
Some can be purchased over the counter (OTC) or be prescribed by a physician depending on the strength of the NSAID.
