The chemical structure of paracetamol is what makes it one of the "safest" painkillers to take. (It's in Panadol.) Long-term use of the substance (I assume you're taking it in a pill, because that's the only form available on the market) can lead to liver toxicity, and there is no way to prevent it (since it metabolizes in the liver) - however, you can do things like drink a lot of water, and stay away from alcoholic beverages and fatty foods if this is something you're concerned about. Doing this will help the overall health of your liver.

I was worried about this because I gt headaches for long periods of time and was taking it for 10 days straight with 6 a day so I rang my chemist and they said you could safley take paracetemol every day for the rest of your life without have problems, that is unless you have history of bad liver problems or if you are a heavy drinker

According to the package directions, everyone can take it as it is safe. The only time liver toxicity comes into play is if you overdose. So have you been over dosing? Then if the pain killer is not strong enough, you might need to go to the doctor and see about something that works for pain.
