Question: Antipyretics trial. A trial evaluated the fever—reducing effects of three substances. Study subjects were adults seen in an emergency room with diagnoses of flu with body temperatures between 100.0°F to IOO.9°F. The three treatments (aspirin, ibuprofen, and acetaminophen) were assigned randomly to study subjects. Body temperatures were reevaluated 2 hours after administration of treatments. Table 3.14 lists the data.
