-- The most frequent antipyretics used in Perú are acetaminophen, ibuprofen and metamizol; however, there are a few studies which compare the antipyretic efficacy between metamizol and acetaminophen or metamizol and ibuprofen. Objectives: the aim of this study was to compare the antipyretic efficacy of oral ibuprofen (10mg/kg), oral metamizol (15 mg/kg) and intramuscular metamizol (15 mg/kg) in pediatric patients at two hours-follow up; it was also to compare time of fever remission, time of symptoms associate to fever remission and immediate undesirable effects. Design: it was performed a randomized clinical trial, simple blinded, at the emergency department of HONADOMANI “San Bartolomé”- Lima. Participants: this study was conducted among 75 children aged 6 months to 6 years presenting with rectal temperature >= 38.3 °C and < 39 °C, who fulfilled inclusion and exclusion criterions; they were random assigned in one of the three groups of study. Results: the 75 patients had similar demographics characteristics. 25 patients received oral ibuprofen, 24 patients received oral metamizol and 26 patients received intramuscular metamizol. Temperature remission was similar in the three groups of study, the gradient of temperature fall was similar too, except at 30 minutes follow-up. At that time, the oral ibuprofen group had a mayor diminishing of temperature (p =,03). There were no difference in diminishing of fever associated symptoms. Only one patient of the ibuprofen group had a slight urticaria as an immediate undesirable effect. Key words: fever, children, ibuprofen, dipyrone.
