the aqueous and ethanolic extracts of pedalium murex (pedaliaceae) was investigated for antipyretic activity in rats using brewer’s yeast-induced pyrexia models. brewer’s yeast (15%) was used to induce pyrexia in rats. both the extract (200 and 400 mg/kg body weight p.o produced a significant (p

salicylate, ibuprofen, ketoprofen, magnesium salicylate, naproxen sodium, and sodium salicylate. ‘‘Alcohol Warning’’ [heading in boldface type]: ‘‘If you consume 3 or more alcoholic drinks every day, ask your doctor whether you should take [insert acetaminophen and one nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic/antipyretic active ingredient—including, but not limited to aspirin, carbaspirin calci...

Sepsis is a clinical syndrome characterized by a systemic inflammatory response to infection. Mortality rates in sepsis have remained high, despite recent advances in our understanding of the immunological mechanisms that cause sepsis. Fever, a nonspecific acute-phase response, has been associated with improved survival and shortened disease duration in some infections. This article reviews the...

Anthranylic acid derivatives are direct structural analogs of salicylic acid derivatives. They possess analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic activity. They are similar to pyrazolones in terms of analgesic and antipyretic activity, yet they exceed the anti-inflammatory activity of salicylates. The mechanism of action of this series of nonsteroid, anti-inflammatory analgesics is not concl...

The n-butanol extract of the leaves Polyscias fruticosa  (L) Harms (Araliaceae) was tested for its anti-inflammatory activity plethismometrically in egg white induced paw oedema in rats, antipyretic activity and analgesic activity by writhing method phenyl butazone, paracetamol and aspirin were used as positive controls for anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and analgesic activity screening studies...
