A study published in a recent issue of the Archives of International Medicine show that the tree most commonly used painkillers in America such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and aspirin may increase middle-aged men’s risk of developing high blood pressure. One of the researchers involved in the study, Dr. Gary Curhan from Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston said, “People should be aware that these drugs have potential adverse effects. The risk of bleeding is well-known for aspirin and NSAIDs. I would recommend that individuals limit their use of these medications unless they are clearly indicated. If they have chronic symptoms requiring the use of these drugs, they should discuss alternative treatments with their health-care providers.” The study took 16,031 men with an average age of 64.6 years old that had no history of hypertension, and monitored there use of acetaminophen for 4 years. When the study concluded, 1,968 of the men developed hypertension. According to HealthDay, “Those who used acetaminophen six to seven days a week had a 34 percent higher risk of hypertension than men who did not use the drug. Similarly, men who took NSAIDs six or seven days a week had a 38 percent higher risk of hypertension, while those taking aspirin at this frequency had a 26 percent higher risk, and compared with men who took no pills, those who took 15 or more pills each week had a 48 percent higher risk of hypertension.” Click here for more information on ordering from online foreign pharmacies.
