Solution

The drugs which cause loss of sensation are called Anaesthetics.

Types of Anaesthetics:-
General anaesthetics: They are the agents, which bring about loss of all modalities of sensation, particularly pain along with ‘reversible’ loss of consciousness.

Local anaesthetics: They prevent the pain sensation in localised areas without affecting the degree of consciousness.
