Paracetamol- a secret killer?



Do we take too many painkillers? Foto: Diana Madej

You wake up in the morning and go to the bathroom. On your way you realize that you got a mild pain in your head. You stop for a second and feel that the pain is getting stronger and is coming from behind your eyes. You reach the bathroom, open a cupboard and take out the strongest painkiller you got. And that solves the problem. Or at least you would think so.

Most of us do this same ritual far more often than we care to admit. But can an excessive use of painkillers become an addiction? Recent surveys shows that while trying to treat a headache we can actually cause it by overdosing analgesics.

The soothing cream on your soul


Sunday jazz night at Seven Stars
