Several Diseases & Medications
This is an excerpt from the paper...
Qu.1 Anti-pyretics are a type of medication used to prevent or reduce fever by lowering the body temperature from a raised state (Antipyretics, 2004). They will not affect the normal body temperature if the patient does not have a fever. Fever (pyrexia) usually results from bacteria or viruses triggering the body's defense mechanisms, which activates certain types of cells which release interleukin. Interleukin affects the hypothalamus, signaling it to raise the body temperature. Prostaglandins are produced by the central nervous system in response to bacterial pyrogens to raise the body temperature. Most non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDS) work by inhibiting prostaglandin synthetase within the hypothalamus. Thus, NSAIDS such as Advil will reduce fever. Anti-inflammatories fall into two main groups: steroids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDS) (Anti-inflammatories, 2004). Steroids occur naturally in the body in small amounts and are powerful anti-inflammatories (Steroids). However, taken as medication they also have a lot of undesirable side effects including: weight gain, increased appetite, raised blood glucose, mood changes, stomach irritation, skin thinning, muscle wasting and bone thinning. NSAIDS work by preventing prostaglandin production, and so stop swelling after an injury and reduce pain (Anti-inflammatories). They are usually combined with a pain killer such as aspirin (e.g. Anadin) or ibuprofen (e.g. Nurofen). NSAIDS are used to re
