kuumelääkkeet
Kuumelääkkeet, also known as antipyretics, are medications used to reduce fever. Fever is a temporary increase in body temperature, often as a response to infection or illness. While fever itself can sometimes be beneficial in fighting off pathogens, high or prolonged fevers can cause discomfort and lead to complications. Kuumelääkkeet work by affecting the body's heat-regulating center in the brain, known as the hypothalamus, to lower the elevated body temperature.
The most common types of kuumelääkkeet available over-the-counter include paracetamol (acetaminophen) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
It is important to use kuumelääkkeet as directed by a healthcare professional or the product's instructions.
