NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – A pair of studies suggests that the common painkiller acetaminophen -- better known as Tylenol in the U.S. -- may be fueling a worldwide increase in asthma.
According to one study out Thursday, acetaminophen could be responsible for as many as four in 10 cases of wheezing and severe asthma in teens.
While no one knows if the drug causes asthma by itself, another report -- published along with the first study -- shows for the first time that many toddlers took acetaminophen before they developed asthma symptoms such as wheezing....
Sounds like you want to keep Tylenol away from kids and teens.
Neither my daughter or I can take tylenol. Nausea, dizziness, etc.
It's been linked to liver problems, too.
@PUNKEY,
Seems like a really good thing to keep away from teenagers...
