A study report published in the European Respiratory Journal says that people who regularly use Paracetamol are at risk of having asthma. The researchers going through a scientific methodology asked over 500 adults with asthma and over 500 people without asthma about the use of painkillers. After, the analysis of the data, researchers reached on the conclusion that regular use of Paracetamol caused asthma risk in them.

 

Also, in a similar study carried out by researchers, it has been found that use of Paracetamol among kids leads to risk of asthma. In the research it has been found that Paracetamol use in the first year of life was associated with a 46% higher risk of asthma by the time the children were 6 or 7 compared to those never exposed to the drug.

 

The study carried out by the Global Allergy and Asthma European Network has established that there is link between higher consumption of Paracetamol and Asthma. According to Dr Seif Shaheen of Imperial College London, there has been growing number of reports that has been showing that asthma prevalence is higher in children and adults in countries with higher Paracetamol sales.
