What's the difference between antipyresis and antipyretic?
Antipyresis
Definition:
(n.) The condition or state of being free from fever.
Example Sentences:

(12) In rabbits with fever induced by an intravenous infusion of endogenous pyrogen, micro-injections of sodium salicylate produced antipyresis when given into the preoptic hypothalamus and the mid-brain.3.
(13) The present results show that protein synthesis in the central nervous system is involved in the development of antipyresis.
(14) These data are consistent with the hypothesis that vasopressin may function within the brain as an endogenous antipyretic and that vasopressin may act in a BST-VSA neuronal pathway concerned with endogenous antipyresis.
(15) General principles of thermoregulation, the pathophysiology of fever, controversies concerning the use of antipyretic therapy, and nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic treatments commonly used for antipyresis in the pediatric population are reviewed.
(16) Those sites at which infusion of salicylate produced the most effective antipyresis were also the ones at which prostaglandin E1 produced the largest fevers.
(17) This antipyresis at 4 degrees C was accompanied by cutaneous vasoconstriction.
(18) Tablets allowed to disintegrate spontaneously prior to dosing yielded aggregates of various sizes which failed to produce uniform patterns of antipyresis.
(19) These data are consistent with the possibility that AVP might act within the meA to evoke antipyresis via receptors that resemble V1a (vasopressor) receptors.
(20) AVP is producing antipyresis by affecting the febrile body temperature set-point mechanism since the thermoregulatory strategy to lose heat varies at different ambient temperatures and the decrease in body temperature cannot be shown to be due to changes in a single effector mechanism.
Antipyretic
Definition:
(a.) Efficacious in preventing or allaying fever.
(n.) A febrifuge.
Example Sentences:
(1) Side effect incidence in patients treated with the paracetamol-sobrerol combination (3.7%) was significantly lower than that observed in subjects treated with paracetamol (6.1% - P less than 0.01), salicylics (25.1% - P less than 0.001), pyrazolics (12.6% - P less than 0.001), propionics (20.3%, P less than 0.001) or other antipyretics (17.9% - P less than 0.001).
(2) The results show that both drugs possess sedative, antispasmodic, antipyretic, antiinflammatory, cardiotonic and hypotensive effects, the strength of effect and toxicity being similar.
(3) The effects of continuous illumination, adrenalectomy and induction or inhibition of microsomal enzymes on antipyretic action of phenacetin were evaluated.
(4) This compound did not affect normal body temperature of rabbits and rats, this observation being similar to that noted with antipyretic analgesics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents.
(5) The compounds were subjected to pharmacological screening, and some were found to possess antiinflammatory and antipyretic properties.
(6) Since prostaglandins (PG) are known to potentiate (facilitate) the peripheral effects of BK and display a hyperthermic action, their synthesis being inhibited by antipyretics, we studied the effect of indomethacin and paracetamol on the BK-induced rise in rectal temperature in rabbits.
(7) Decrease in Te induced by hypothalamic cooling was also reversed by the intravenous injection of antipyretics.
(8) The benzisothiazoliltetrazoles showed high antipyretic activity and each tetrazole, except one, was appreciably more potent than the corresponding acid.
(9) Pyridyl-biphenylyl-acetamide (diphenpyramide, Z-876) is a new bisphenylalcanoic derivative with marked anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic and uricosuric properties.
(10) Paracetamol may be recommended as a safe analgesic-antipyretic during pregnancy and labour.
(11) The influence of initial temperature on the magnitude of the response to an antipyretic drug is a previously unappreciated finding with potential impact on pharmacodynamic investigations of antipyretic medications.
(12) Antipyretic and analgesic effects for dapsone have been demonstrated and are similar to those produced by phenylbutazone.
(13) A series of acyloxy- and alkyloxymethyl esters of meclofenamic, flufenamic and mefenamic acids has been synthesized and its antiinflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic activities have been compared with those of the corresponding acids and the methyl, beta,gamma-isopropylidene-dioxypropyl, N,N-diethylaminoethyl esters.
(14) An open trial of piroxicam, a new nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent with long-lasting analgesic and antipyretic activities, was carried out on 49 children as outpatients with viral rhinopharyngitis.
