Fever reducer

Acetylsalicylic acid is more commonly known as aspirin. It is used as a pain reliever, fever reducer, and anti-inflammatory. 

Like aspirin, ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. It is a cyclooxygenase inhibitor that interferes with COX-1 and COX-2 forms of that enzyme. Its effects on COX-2 give it fever-reducing (antipyretic), analgesic (pain relief), and anti-inflammatory functions. 

Suggest a synthesis of antipyrine (56), one of the very earlier synthetic drugs, still used as a fever-reducing drug in some countries. 

Acetaminophen, another alternative to aspirin, is an effective analgesic and fever-reducing agent. However, this medication has no effect on inflammation. 

During the nineteenth century, chemists had a good deal of success in isolating and purifying natural products from plant sources. Morphine was isolated as a pure compound from crude opium in 1804. Quinine was isolated from the bark of the cinchona tree in 1820 and was initially employed as a fever reducer. However, its effectiveness against malaria was soon discovered and it found an alternative highly important medical use. Sodium salicylate was isolated from the bark of the willow tree in 1821 and was also shown to have analgesic, antipyretic, and antiinflammatory properties. It took an additional 76 years, until 1897, to synthesize the acetyl derivative, acetylsalicyclic acid, commonly known as aspirin. 

Analgesics are divided into two groups opioids (morphine-like substances), which predominantly influence the central nervous system (CNS) and nonopioids (nonsteroidal antiinflammatory or fever-reducing drugs—NSAID), which act predominantly on the peripheral nervous system. 

In general, nonopioid analgesics are characterized by three fundamental types of action analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and fever-reducing action, which are used for alleviation of headaches, myalgia, arthralgia, and that do not have sedative or soporific effects. Euphoria, addiction, and drug dependence do not result from their use. 

As a prostaglandin synthetase inhibitor, diflunisal exhibits analgesic, fever-reducing, and anti-inflammatory action. It is used for long- and short-lasting symptomatic relief of low to moderate pain in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.Synonyms for this drug are dolobid, adomal, noladol, and others. 

Anthranylic acid derivatives are direct structural analogs of salicylic acid derivatives. They possess analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and fever-reducing activity. They are similar to... 

This series of anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and fever-reducing compounds (ibuprofen, naproxene, ketoprofen, fenprofen) can be equally identified as both propionic acid derivatives as well as phenylpropionic acid derivatives. The mechanism of their action is not conclusively known however, it has been suggested that it is also connected with the suppression of prostaglandin synthetase activity. 

Tohnetin, like all of the drugs described above, inhibits synthesis of prostaglandins and exhibits expressed analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and fever-reducing properties. It is used for relieving weak to moderate pain in rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Synonyms for tolmetin are tolectin, tolmex, and others. 

Sulfinpyrazone is used in medicine as a nonsteroid anti-inflammatory, fever-reducing analgesic however, it is believed, that it inhibits cyclooxygenase of thrombocytes. In addition, it is also possible that its action is also linked with the action on membrane of thrombocytes and reduced quantities of secreted adenosine diphosphate and serotonin, which facilitate thrombocyte aggregation. Unlike aspirin, it has no effect on those who do not have irregular aggregation systems.

Qing Hao is aromatic and enters the Liver and Gall Bladder meridians. It can disperse dampness and heat, spread Liver-Qi and is often used in damp-heat obstruction in the Liver and Gall Bladder. The manifestations are chills, fever, reduced appetite, nausea, and a sticky and bitter taste in the mouth.

Like oxycodone with aspirin, oxycodone with acetaminophen combines a powerful pain reliever with an additional pain reliever and a fever-reducer. However, unlike aspirin, it does not have anti-inflammatory properties, so it may not be the best medication if a patient s pain is accompanied by inflammation, swelling, and stiffness. 

Ibuprofen is a well-known drug that possesses analgesic (pain-relieving) and antipyretic (fever-reducing) properties. It is particularly known for its use in pain relief from arthritis. Ibuprofen was discovered by Dr. Stewart Adams and his colleagues in the United Kingdom in the 1950s, patented in 1961, and first made available in 1969. It became available in the United States in 1974. Ibuprofen tablets are sold under the trade names Advil and Motrin. The chemical name of ibuprofen is 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)propanoic acid. 

Willow bark. The bark of the white willow tree (Salix alba) has been used as a pain and fever reducer for centuries. The main active ingredient in willow bark is salicin, which the body converts to salicylic acid, a substance that acts like aspirin. In fact, the first stable form of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) was made from a related herb called meadowsweet. Salicylic acid inhibits... 

Aspirin, or acetylsalicylic acid, is the most well known member of a group of compounds called salicylates. Although aspirin was first used in medicine for its analgesic (pain-relieving), antipyretic (fever-reducing), and anti-inflammatory properties, today it is commonly used as an antiplatelet agent in the treatment and prevention of heart attacks and strokes. Aspirin is a synthetic compound it does not occur in nature, though some related salicylates are found in willow bark and meadowsweet blossoms. 

Antifebrin.— Acetanilide is a common medicinal substance much used as a fever reducer under the name of antifebrin. It is a solid, crystallizing in glistening plates melting point 112°. It is slightly soluble in cold water, readily in hot water. Though not an ester it easily hydrolyzes reforming aniline and acetic acid. Other known anilides formed from aniline and formic acid, oxalic acid and benzoic...
