Ativan (lorazepam) and Demerol (meperidine) are not primarily used to reduce fever. Ativan is a benzodiazepine that acts as a sedative and anxiolytic, while Demerol is an opioid analgesic used for pain relief. Although they may contribute to overall comfort and relaxation, they do not have antipyretic properties or directly target the mechanisms that cause fever. Fever reduction is typically managed with medications specifically designed to lower body temperature, such as acetaminophen or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
