Studies suggest that frequent use of paracetamol may increase the likelihood of respiratory symptoms such as wheezing and is linked to worsening asthma symptoms, particularly with repeated use.
Research has also shown that regular consumption of paracetamol, even within recommended dosages, can lead to liver damage.
Additionally, paracetamol formulations containing sodium are associated with a higher risk of heart attacks, strokes, and heart failure. People taking the maximum daily dose of paracetamol may also exceed the recommended sodium intake, further exacerbating health risks.
In rare cases, allergic reactions to paracetamol may cause discoloration of the skin or lips, turning them blue or gray, alongside other symptoms such as sudden swelling of the lips, mouth, or tongue, dizziness, and difficulty breathing.
