What does aspirin exert its antipyretic action?
Answer: Aspirin decreases body temperature (only if temperature is elevated above the normal range) by acting upon the temperature regulating area of the hypothalamus to increase heat loss through peripheral mechanisms, that is, increasing the vasodilation of peripheral blood vessels and through increased perspiration. Heat production is not changed but heat loss is facilitated so that body temperature can go down.
