Is it okay to take paracetamol daily?
According to the NHS site, it’s safe to take paracetamol regularly for many years as long as you don’t take more than the recommended dosage.
However, some experts claimed people who take the drug regularly are increasing their risk of heart attack, stomach bleeding, kidney failure, liver failure and death.
One in four people frequently exceed the maximum daily dose of paracetamol in the UK, it’s believed, so lots of us aren’t using it safely.
The NHS stresses that, despite rumours, there is no firm evidence to suggest that taking paracetamol will reduce fertility in either men or women, or affect any type of contraception including the contraceptive pill or emergency contraception.
