With the massive outbreak of the omicron corona mutant, and especially with the fact that many people are taking it to reduce temperature and soothe pain, a recent study has warned of the risks of multiplication from taking paracetamol tablets.

A study by researchers at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland found that taking paracetamol on a regular basis increases the risk of heart attack for a quarter of Britons.

Experts warned that the long-term use of non-prescription pills could be a source of bad news for those with hypertension.

They said taking two pills of paracetamol a day increased the risk of heart attack or stroke by 20 percent for those with hypertension.

Researchers stressed that doctors should give as little a dose as possible for the shortest time, if people need it, to control pain.

Dr. Ian McIntyre, a doctor in Scotland, said: "This is not about the short-term use of paracetamol for headaches or fever, which is good, but the study suggests that there is a newly discovered risk of people taking it regularly in the long term, usually because of chronic pain."

Paramedics often resort to giving paracetamol to people with long-term pain, rather than ibuprofen, because it's known to raise blood pressure.

However, a study of 110 patients published in the journal Circle found that it significantly increases blood pressure in people with already high levels.

Experts said it only took days for blood pressure readings to begin to rise, and some patients in the trial saw "very large" blood pressure spikes.

But blood pressure was also rapidly retreating, once someone stopped taking the pills.

For his part, Professor James Deer said: "This study clearly shows that paracetamol - the most widely used drug in the world - raises blood pressure, one of the most important risk factors for heart attacks and strokes," according to The Sun.

He continued: "Both doctors and patients must consider risks against the benefits of a long-term paracetamol prescription."
