Anti-fever actions of AceteminophinHi, My name is Bo. Im a third year Medical student in the philippines. Acetemenophin (Tylenol) is a Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory drug. When you get sick, you're immune system sends chemicals to your temperature control center of the brain (hypothalamus) to produce a chemical called Prostaglandin. This prostaglandin is responsible for fever. When acetimenophen is given, it inhibits the production of prostaglandin, thus lowering your fever. I hope this helped By Bo from Philippines on November 06, 2006 | Reply | Write a Reply |
