    Explanation
    Salicylates, such as aspirin (Bayer), are commonly used to relieve mild to moderate pain, as they have analgesic properties.

    Explanation
    Antipyretics are medications that are specifically designed to reduce fevers. They work by blocking certain chemicals in the body that cause fever, such as prostaglandins. By inhibiting these chemicals, antipyretics help to lower body temperature and provide relief from fever. Therefore, the statement "antipyretics do not reduce fevers" is false.

    Analgesia refers to a state in which an individual does not feel pain, even though they may be experiencing a painful condition.

It belongs to a class of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and is commonly used to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and other mental health conditions.
