  • (19) These findings suggest that ibuprofen is a good alternative to paracetamol as an antipyretic.
  • (20) Acetaminophen is an effective mild analgesic and antipyretic agent.

Pyretic


Definition:

  • (a.) Of or pertaining to fever; febrile.

  • (7) The overall pyretic response is more dramatic in female rats than in male rats.
  • (8) These results suggest that anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-pyretic activities of TA are generally a little weaker than those of ibuprofen, and the mode of action of TA is similar to that of a typical acidic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug such as ibuprofen, indomethacin or phenylbutazone.
