Study: Using Tylenol regularly can cause asthma and COPD
Saturday, June 16, 2018 by: RJ Jhonson
(Natural News) A study published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine pointed to acetaminophen as a significant risk factor for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), among other lung conditions.
Acetaminophen, also known as paracetamol, is a drug used to treat fever and provide relief from moderate pain. It’s an active ingredient in many common over-the-counter drugs, including cough suppressants and cold medications. Its most popular brand name is Tylenol.
The researchers, who came from the University of Nottingham in England, followed 13,500 adults from the U.S. All subjects were required to provide information on their use of acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and aspirin from 1988 to 1994.
The incidence of asthma and COPD among the subjects was then analyzed relative to their use of the aforementioned drugs. The researchers found that those who used acetaminophen had the highest risk of contracting lung conditions.
