Andyempowered: I guess you referred to me. Well....first off this is how testing in drugs is done. You start with tests on cells...invivo and invitro. Then you go to animal models.... Then you go to humans...phase 1, 2 and 3 and 4. Then you can make a pronouncement. But the whole process can take as long as twenty years from cells to phase 4. So, it is still early to tell. Very early. Which is why a proper way of finding out would be , in this case, a prospective study looking at the moms of infertile males vs the moms of fertile males. The question such a study would look at would attempt to find out the paracetamol ingestion rates of the moms who gave birth to fertile males and compare it to the paracetamol rates of the moms who gave birth to infertile males(paracetamol intake when they were pregnant with the men, that is!). What the above study shows is a possible mechanism. It still needs more work to be done before we can make a pronouncement. Still, caution is good. And BTW...i am a doctor, who is also interested in evidence based medicine.(hope to make it part of my practice someday...when I become a consultant.). |

bushdoc9919:I really appreciate your civility and intelligent way you presented your arguments. Your assertions are also very right as I am in the pharmacy profession. But then again, the report didnt give us enough details on which basis we can disprove or accept the claim. Thanks again for your matured reply. Cheers |

one small study in animal model story for the Gods not hard. we can do 20year retrospective study to confirm. remember the statement said could harm not will harm or must harm. every drug has side effects. we take drug when we think the benefits outweigh the risks. not every problem that are common among the Caucasian are common in African. didn't your mother take PCM when is pregnant of you? did your thing disappeared ? that is why we call it study. more is required. both retrospective and prospective. WHO would not condemn paracetamol until enough has been done. this is just one group study. PCM is safe for now in pregnancy(WHO) 1 Like |
