Paracetamol in early infancy: the risk of childhood allergy and asthma
Al Gray - Tuesday, October 19, 2010
In a recently published study Norwegian researchers found that use of
paracetamol in the first trimester doubled the risk of development of
allergic rhinitis at the age of 10 for both boys and girls, and in
girls it increased the risk of allergy and asthma if used until the age
of 6 months. The main author, Bakkeheim, states that the effect of
Paracetamol is the opposite of the effect of antioxydants, and that it
therefore weakens the body's ability to defend itself against oxydative
stress. International studies have shown that the risk of developing asthma, hayfeverand eczema by the age of 6-7 years is tripled if children are given paracetamol before they are one years of age.
