Pain killing drugs derived from opium are known as narcotics.

Answer:

Narcotics

Explanation:

The term narcotic comes from a Greek word meaning "sleeping." A narcotic is an opium-derived substance that inhibits the transmission of pain-associated signals. It can also cause drowsiness, muscle relaxation and a dulling of sensitivity. The psychoactive effects of these substances, such as anesthesia or analgesia, make them frequent in medicine.
