Conclusion
From
this clinical trial, we conclude
that AEKNIL is of considerable value
when used as an antipyretic in wide
range of common paediatric ailments.
The great advantage is that it is
almost free from any side effect and
because of its complete miscibility
in water, it could be used both in
oral and intra-muscular form.
