HiAs we all know the most commonly used Over The Counter drug in india is paracetamol, but look what I’ve found about this drug.

According to a recent Study it is found that in older adults aged above 65 who were taking paracetamol too often have more chances to get serious side effects in comparison to the one’s wo aren’t taking it too often.

Side effects like,
Peptic Ulcer Bleeding (24% more risk).
Lower Gastrointestinal Bleeding (36% more risk).
Heart Failure (9% more risk).
Hypertension (7% more risk).
Chronic kidney diseases (19% more risk).
