Paracetamol and alcohol should not be combined
Today the issue of a healthy lifestyle is not in the last place, including Internet users. Probably, almost everyone knows the medicine that has recently become, almost a "panacea for all diseases."On its compatibility with alcohol are lively disputes. I mean paracetamol. Alcohol is used together with paracetamol categorically prohibited - as some people believe, and quite the contrary opinion of others. How to be? My opinion is that it is better to abstain from alcohol altogether, but at least not to combine its use with medications.
For example, at one of the forums dedicated to health, I recently got acquainted with the radically opposite opinions of the participants. Moreover, they are not only different, but also clearly contradictory. For example: "It will not be terrible, it has already been tested many times!" And the same person writes further: "True, with a liver, of course, there will be problems!" It is very interesting, is not it? It turns out that, according to some people, the pathologies of such an important organ as the liver are not terrible.
The following question also arises: "Why do our people carry out similar tests, combining paracetamol and alcohol?" But there are also opposing opinions all on the same forum. For example, a man writes that before the wedding of his sister, he used paracetamol( the dosage is not indicated, but not the packet he took), and then at the wedding he "drank well".As a result, he had a liver for two days.
Another man objected that he, they say, constantly uses hang-over paracetamol and thus is saved. Friends! Let's agree that an isolated case can not be an indicator for us. For example, one famous rock musician claims that he has abused alcohol and drugs for 30 years. Now he is over sixty and he feels fine. Yes, but maybe if he did not use poisons, he would feel even better and then set a record of longevity.
Then the third participant of communication thanks for the information, as it is forced to combine paracetamol with alcohol. And another man sheds light on this discussion. He writes that such a combination destroys the liver, but it is not immediately noticeable.
It is said that, how many people - so many opinions! But we are not going to experience the power of current or the law of universal gravitation? Why, then, is this disregard for the joint use of drugs and alcoholic beverages?
The fact is that one of my acquaintances involuntarily experienced on himself what effect the paracetamol and alcohol can have on the human body in tandem. He took a long time systematically taking paracetamol tablets from any slightest ailments. And also this friend of mine was very fond of drinking and, at least, he did not spend a single day without beer. As a result, he suffered from the liver.
You can, arguing, suggest that he fell ill especially because of alcohol abuse.
Well, it is possible, but doctors, nevertheless authoritatively state that large doses of paracetamol are themselves harmful to the liver. And if you use paracetamol and alcohol in aggregate, then therapeutic doses lead to the so-called "paracetamol-alcohol syndrome".As you can see, even the corresponding title is available.
Imagine that in the US the packaging of this drug is necessarily accompanied by a special instruction. She warns the consumer about the possibility of liver failure in the case of combining the drug with alcohol.
Conclusion
No one will beat the hands of an adult person, knock out a glass of alcohol from his hand or grab his paracetamol tablets from him. Let's just realize that our health, the health of our descendants and even the nation is in our hands. At least, combining paracetamol and alcohol, it is worth consulting with your doctor in your specific case. I wish you great health.
