RESEARCH MATTERS by Dr. David J. Madeira A “How Safe Is Your Painkiller” Previously in this column I have reported on how scientific studies have demonstrated that NSAIDs, even when used correctly, can cause stomach bleeding, kidney damage, and even death. Now the FDA is putting the focus on the popular drug acetaminophen.’ More then 56,000 emergency room visits a year are due to acetaminophen overdoses, and about 100 people a year die after unintentionally taking too much, according to Food and Drug Administration (news - web sites) estimates. Some consumers swallow extra pills in hopes of faster relief. Others unknowingly ingest too much by taking more than one acetaminophen-containing remedy. Best known by the Tylenol brand, acetaminophen is present in more than 600 products that treat pain, coughs, cold, flu. Most are nonprescription, but there are some prescription ones, such as Vicodin. Often the ingredient is listed only in the label’s fine print or, for prescription drugs, with the confusing abbreviation APAP. But the FDA’s new campaign falls @ short of recommendations of its own scientific advisers, who in 2002 urged that warnings be placed directly on the labels of over-the- counter painkillers to ensure users know these risks: “I’m a little angry” at the small effort, said Kate Trunk of Fort Myers, Fla., who has urged the FDA for three years to increase acetaminophen warnings after her 23-year old son died from an unintentional overdose after a wrist injury. If you are looking for a drug free way to treat musculoskeletal pain, we can help. We have effective treatments that get to the root of the problem. We can also recommend safe, non-toxic food based therapies that can relieve your pain while you heal. Even chronic pain is often significantly relieved in days. 1http://www.fda.gov/cder/drug/analgesics/SciencePaper.htm “Helping you feel better and achieve more through Chiropractic” i.
