Answer: Acetaminophen, Diflunisal

Step-by-step explanation:

The non-opioid analgesics and non-salicylate are the anti-inflammatory drugs. These are non-steroidal in nature. They can distrupt the production of the prostaglandin which is an mediator of inflammation and pain.

Acetaminophen: It is a non-opioid analgesic which can be used to treat minor aches, pains, and also reduces fever.

Diflunisal: It is a non-opioid analgesic which can be used to treat pain and arthritis.
