antipyretikum


Definition from Jazykovedný ústav Ľudovíta Štúra:
látka znižujúca telesnú teplotu

Example sentence(s):
  • Antipyretikum je liečivo ktoré znižuje telesnú teplotu, má protizápalový účinok a mierne tlmí periférne alebo centrálne vnímanie bolesti. - Wikipedia  
  • Antipyretiká sú lieky, ktoré znižujú telesnú teplotu a horúčku. Horúčka je súčasťou imunitnej reakcie tela na infekciu. Najbežnejšie antipyretiká ako paracetamol, ibuprofén a kyselina acetylsalicylová sa používajú predovšetkým ako analgetiká (lieky proti bolesti), ktoré majú súčasne aj antipyretické vlastnosti. - Lieky s rozumom

antipyretikum


Definition from wikipedia:
Antipyretikum je liečivo ktoré znižuje telesnú teplotu, má protizápalový účinok a mierne tlmí periférne alebo centrálne vnímanie bolesti.

  • Míňajú sa podľa mojich informácií antipyretiká, čo ja považujem za totálny nezmysel, lebo ich nie je nedostatok a je to zbytočné pri viróze, na ktorú tieto antipyretiká majú len symptomatický účinok,“ povedal pre Bratislava24 lekárnik Vasil Šatník. - dennikn.sk

antipyretický


Definition from Ľudovít Štúr Language Institute:
antipyretický [-t-t-] -ká -ké príd. ⟨gr.⟩ farm., lek. ▶ účinný proti horúčke: antipyretické prostriedky; liek má a. účinok

Example sentence(s):
  • Liek patrí do skupiny liekov, ktoré majú analgetické (proti bolesti), protizápalové (znižujú zápal) a antipyretické (znižujú horúčku) vlastnosti. - ADC  
  • antipyretický účinok → znižujú patalogicky zvýšenú telesnú teplotu - Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Koš  
  • Paracetamol je liečivo, ktoré má analgetický a antipyretický účinok, teda tlmí bolesť a znižuje horúčku. - AOPP  

Explanation:
If you are looking for a noun (an antipyretic), then "antipyretikum" is the correct choice. If you would like to use the term as an adjective, such as in any of the example sentences, then "antipyretický" with an appropriate suffix based on the case would be used.
