 | | Whether or not the antipyretic therapy was aggressive enough is impossible to determine, but since there was no suggestion of improvement with antipyretic therapy, one can surmise that even if there was some benefit from rigorous antipyretic therapy, that it would likely be quite small. | | | Finally, the decision for family members to be present must consider the relation between the child and caregiver and the desire and comfort level of the family, nurses, and physicians. | | | The practice of alternating antipyretic agents originated in the 1970s when a few trials advocated alternating aspirin and acetaminophen (12,13). |

| | Antipyretic, Analgesic and Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol in the Rat |
| | Although the antipyretic actions of phenylbutazone are generally considered to be mediated by central mechanisms similar to those of the salicylates, no direct evidence for a central site of antipyretic action for delta-9-THC is provided in the present study. | | | Antipyretic, Analgesic and Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol in the Rat | | | The comparative oral antinociceptive activity of delta-9-THC and selected narcotic and non-narcotic analgesics was determined by the increase in response latency to pressure applied to normal and yeast-inflamed paws. |

| | Combining an antipyretic drug with any other such as metoclopromide is intended to enhance its effect but is not based on evidence. | | | In summary, use of an antipyretic drug should be restricted merely for symptomatic relief and to prevent fever from rising to a dangerous degree. | | | Paracetamol is the time tested safe drug and it should be the first drug of choice in most of the conditions. |

| | The management of fever in young children with acute respiratory infections in developing countries |
| | Each child should be assessed individually, however, and it is reasonable to offer antipyretic treatment to any child who appears to be in discomfort as a consequence of fever. | | | Given the relative risks and benefits of these two drugs, however, it is difficult to defend the use of aspirin on economic grounds; economies may be better achieved by limiting the use of paracetamol to those children likely to benefit from it. | | | Many other drugs, including pyrazolon derivatives such as phenylbutazone and dipyrone, are effective as antipyretics but far too toxic to justify their use for this purpose. |

| | Most of the antipyretic analgesics such as acetanilide and phenacetin are no longer used in therapy because of their toxicity. | | | However, the metabolite of these two drugs, acetaminophen, became a highly popular antipyretic in the 1950s and is now the antipyretic of first choice in most developed countries. | | | Antipyresis can be achieved by physical methods such as cooling the body with tepid water or by pharmacological means such as the administration of antipyretic drugs. |

| | There is no evidence that persons taking any antipyretic analgesics occasionally for headaches or other pains develop analgesic nephropathy. | | | The pathogenesis of the condition is uncertain but may involve a direct cytotoxic action of the analgesics on the renal papilla, perhaps enhanced by ischemia. | | | The magnitude of the problem in its various degrees of severity can be viewed in at least three ways: the frequency of occurrence in the population at large, the frequency of occurrence in persons taking antipyretic analgesics, and the burden that treating the condition imposes on medical and financial resources. |
