PanadoL is cancerOus???

Question

is panadol cancerous??coz there's news that is spreading in my country...it says that panadol can cause liver problem...is that trUe???

Answer 1

I don't see how paracetamol could cause rapid cell mutation... and considering no one really has any concrete causes for cancer, I'd say this is just the latest rumour with no substance to it whatsoever.

Answer 2

No. Panadol contains paracetamol, which is a well established pain killer. In large doses it can damage the liver, but all drugs will cause problems if you overdose on them. Take it as directed on the packaging.
