Yes, usage of PCM leads to several internal damages. There’s also a study revealing that intake of PCM increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes in middle age group as well.

Oh i haven’t heard about it before.Now I have got proper knowledge about this concept.

That’s quite concerning! Regular overuse of paracetamol, especially in older adults, can indeed increase the risk of such serious complications. Moderation and medical guidance are key.

The major risk for geriatrics by chronic usage of PCM is hepatotoxicity.

Everyone should be aware of this. The one and only medicine people take by themselves without prescribing the doctors is paracetamol and they should know about the side effects also.

Thanks for sharing , very informative :blush:

Paracetamol may be easily available, but frequent or unsupervised use,especially in elderly — can lead to serious health risks like GI bleeding, heart failure, and kidney damage.
As pharmacy students, we should always promote rational drug use and spread awareness about potential risks, even with common OTC medicines.

Paracetamol is a common medicine for fever and pain, but taking it too often is not safe especially for older people. It can cause problems like liver damage, high BP, and kidney issues. So, don’t take it without reason. If you have to take it often, it’s better to ask a doctor once.

It’s a good reminder that even OTC drugs should be taken carefully and only when needed. :pill:
