How long does paracetamol take to cause damage?!


Question: How long does paracetamol take to cause damage!?
hypothetically, how much would you need to take per day in order for it to have a negative effect on your health!? what would the symptoms be!? Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Taking over a gram of paracetamol every day would slowly poison your liver causing cirrhosis and eventual liver failure!. I've no idea how long such a process would take, it would vary from person to person depending on age, height, weight, gender, alcohol etc etc!. Symptoms would include nausea, vomiting, weight loss, diarrhoea, jaundice (yellow skin), abdominal pain, abdominal distension (large fluid filled abdomen) swollen ankles, confusion, drowsiness!.
