Here is a new article re a study that was just published re the use of acetaminophen and lung disease...Teri
" British researchers have found increased use of acetaminophen is associated with a greater prevalence of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease."

Thanks for the info Teri. Wow... Acetaminophen is supposed to be the safest pain reliever/fever reducer out there. I can't take aspirin or ibuprofen anymore so I started taking acetaminophen. I guess that goes to show there is NO safe medication out there.

Yes, that can be the way it seems dbab, however, we all have to decide what helps us best and gives us the quality of life we desire.

At this point this is a study-we need to wait til more studies are done independently and see what they too come up with! I'll keep my eyes and ears open...

Hugs, Teri

I haven't heard anything new on this, but wanted to bump this up so newer members could read this.

Hugs, Teri smile
