Paracetamol Liver Damage Long Term

Paracetamol Liver Damage Long Term

Paracetamol is commonly used for headaches, but British scientists have revealed that the use of paracetamol for back and joint pain can cause liver disorders. The study was published in the British journal "British Medical Journal", which states that back pain can be the leading cause of disability and it is estimated that more than 250 million people suffer from back pain every year in the UK alone.

The results from the research have revealed that doctors recommend paracetamol to patients with back and joint pain, but in fact this drug causes liver problems rather than causes confusion for these patients.

Scientists say Paracetamol is not effective for every patient for acute joint pain, and physical exercise instead of medication is a more effective way to relieve joint pain.
