Even though many alkaloids are poisonous (such as strychnine?, coniine?, and colchicine?), some are used in medicine as analgesics (pain relievers) or [[anaesthetic|anaesthetics]s. Morphine, cocaine?, atropine?, caffeine, quinine, theophylline?, and theobromine are also members of the alkaloid family.
