	BioMed Central \| Full text \| Alternating ibuprofen and acetaminophen in the treatment of febrile children: a pilot ...
		However, combined antipyretic treatment can be dangerous and may precipitate hepatic or renal toxicities due to glutathione pathway impairment, especially in the sick, dehydrated or fasting child [6-8,10-14].
		This antipyretic effect was maintained for an additional two hours in the intervention group, as evidenced by the significantly higher proportions of afebrile subjects at 7 and 8 hours from baseline.
		In addition, the antipyretic advantage of the combined antipyretics may be attenuated with multiple dosing of ibuprofen and acetaminophen, and become comparable to repeated ibuprofen mono-therapy.

	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.
		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.
		Accordingly, the antipyretic effects produced by relatively low doses of delta-9-THC may be due in part to non-specific peripheral effects such as vasodilatation, as suggested by Beaconsfield et al.

	Antipyretics information from assist pain relief
		An antipyretic is a type of medication that will prevent or reduce fever by lowering body temperature from a raised state.
		Antipyretics work by getting the "thermostat" in the hypothalamus to override the interleukin-induced increase in temperature.
		Antipyretics will also reduce prostaglandin synthesis in the hypothalamus by inhibiting the effect of endogenous or microbial pyrogens on the heat regulating sensors of the hypothalamus.

		Alternating antipyretic agents is common practice in managing fever in an infant or child.
		An option to alternating antipyretic agents is to ensure the appropriate dose of a single agent, such as acetaminophen.
		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.

		The antipyretic effect of leaf extract at 300 mg/kg is similar to the paracetamol group.
		Furthermore, the antipyretic effect was started within 1h of extracts administration, and maintained for at least 5 h after the administration of the extract.

	The management of fever in young children with acute respiratory infections in developing countries
		The main documented benefit of antipyretic treatment in the majority of febrile children appears to be a modest improvement in comfort and behaviour, whether that relief is achieved by the antipyretic or analgesic effect of the medication.
		Despite the absence of convincing evidence that antipyretic treatment can mask the signs and symptoms of a serious underlying infection, the potential for such a scenario urges caution in the treatment of fever when its causes are unknown, particularly in young infants.
		Antipyretic treatment is therefore not generally recommended in young infants.

		Acetaminophen possesses analgesic and antipyretic activity, however, some clinicians consider acetaminophen a poor analgesic.
		Since acetaminophen has no peripheral antiinflammatory activity, its efficacy as an analgesic may indeed be less than aspirin's in situations in which this action is desirable.
		The antipyretic activity is exerted by blocking the effects of endogenous pyrogen on the hypothalamic heat-regulating center, possibly by inhibiting PG synthesis.
