[The antipyretic effect of Lonarid N in children].

Lonarid N was used in 78 children suffering from different febrile diseases. It was available in suppositories for infants and children. Body temperature dropped to subfebrile values in 78.5% of all doses. In 8.6% a lowering effect was distinct but incomplete, in 12.9% no satisfying effect occurred. After one hour average lowering of 1.5 to 1.9 degrees C was seen in nearly half of the cases, after three hours normal temperatures were found in all cases responding to Lonarid N at all. Lonarid N is acting promptly and normal body temperature is reached as expected. No complications of therapy were seen.
