A new study has revealed that long-term use of paracetamol could raise the risk of heart attacks, stroke, gastrointesinal bleeding or kidney failure and early death.

The drug is believed to be safer than aspirin, which can cause stomach bleeds, and ibuprofen, which has been linked to heart attacks and strokes.

The study has found that patients prescribed with high doses of paracetamol for long periods were up to 63% more likely to die unexpectedly.

However, British researchers urge that a systematic review should be carried out to ensure the effectiveness of the drug as the risks associated with its long-term use may have been underestimated.
