Xinhua - English: "BEIJING, August 16 -- US reserchers find that women who take higher doses of common, over-the-counter painkillers such as ibuprofen and even Tylenol have higher blood pressure than women who do not.
The findings add to a growing list of research that suggests all painkillers, prescription and non-prescription, carry health risks and should be used carefully.
The study, which looked at the medical records of more than 5,000 women -- aged 34 to 77 -- for up to eight years, found that those who took 500 milligrams or more of acetaminophen daily were twice as likely to develop high blood pressure as women who did not take the drug, according to the report in the Aug. 16 issue of Hypertension."
