Antipyretics Market Overview
Antipyretics Market Size is estimated to reach $3.1 billion
by 2027 and it is poised to grow at a CAGR of 1.6% over the forecast
period of 2022-2027. Antipyretics agents have been used for over millennia to suppress
fever from bacterial infection or viral fever. The essential elements of the
fever physiologic pathway are the release of pyrogenic cytokines by
inflammatory cells in response to some exogenous pyrogen (infection) and induction
of cyclooxygenase (COX) 2 activation of the arachidonic acid cascade. Some of
the most common forms of medicines/ products which exhibit the following
characteristics are paracetamol, ibuprofen, aspirin, corticosteroids and other
NSAIDs along with para-aminophenol derivative acetaminofen (Tylenol).
Antipyretics are also commonly revered as antipyretic analgesic drugs. The
medications work by expatiating the blood vessels present below the skin
surface, thereby, providing more blood flow through the skin- providing cooling
capacities to reduce fever. Owing to an increasing geriatric population
exasperated by a growing number of viral and bacterial infections across the
globe, the antipyretics industry is well positioned to grow during the forecast
period of 2022-2027.
