Blood pressure warning over long-term paracetamol use

People with high blood pressure who take paracetamol on prescription could be increasing their risk of heart attacks and strokes, a study suggests. Doctors should think about the risks and benefits to patients taking it over many months, the University of Edinburgh researchers say. Taking the painkiller for headaches and fevers is safe, they stress. Other experts say research in more people over a longer timeframe is needed to confirm the findings. Paracetamol is widely used around the world as a short-term remedy for aches and pains but also prescribed to manage chronic pain, despite little evidence of its benefit for long-term use. Half a million people - one out of every 10 - in Scotland were prescribed the painkiller in 2018. High blood pressure affects one out o...

"Through my support, she rose again and I had to leave because my management was complaining that my intention to revive my fellow artiste was not bringing any commerci...

AG Kihara Opposes Bid Set To Dismiss Law Criminalizing The Spread Of HIV

A petition seeking to decriminalize deliberate transmission of HIV or any other Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STI) diseases should be dismissed by the high court says Attorney General Paul Kihara. The law says that any person who deliberately or intentionally infects another with HIV or any other life threatening STIs is guilty of an offence, whether or not he or she is married to that other person and shall be liable upon conviction to imprisonment for a term of not less than 15 years but may be enhanced for life.
