Reception of antipyretic promotes the spread of influenza virus in the body and makes the patient more contagious, which increases the overall number of cases and number of deaths stated in A report from McMaster University in Hamilton (Canada). “Because heat helps reduce the amount of viruses in the body sick and reduces the likelihood of transmitting the infection to other people, the use of antipyretic drugs may contribute to the spread of virus, “said David Earn of the University McMaster, whose words are given in the message. Yorn and his colleagues determined how the degree of infectiousness of patients who bring down heat by analyzing the data of previous experiments, including experiments on volunteers and animals. Then they collected data on taking antipyretic drugs in the US and used mathematical modeling to determine how this affects the total number of infections per year. Scientists have come to the conclusion that taking antipyretics – such as ibuprofen, aspirin, paracetamol – currently increasing in the United States cases of influenza infection by about 5%, and the number of deaths from this disease – more than a thousand per year. Many people at the flu is brought down by fever with medication. However studies back in the 1970s showed that fever complicates the reproduction of the virus in the body and therefore artificial lowering the temperature delays recovery and promotes transmitting the virus to other people.
