thanks for this op. most times, even a simple rest would resolve the aches, but most people prefare to pop the pill. I don't even recommend it for children when treating malaria. I'd rather tepid sponge and expose, instead of using anti pyretics to mask the symptoms

It is the abuse of Paracetamol and other Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory drugs that is behind the epidemic of CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASES in Nigeria today. The people are so ignorant that they abuse this type of cheap drugs without considering the dangers to the metabolic system.

Any little headache or illness, the first thing is to take Paracetamol. Naija people are grinded with self medication

Nice article, I have been telling people about this, not all ailments you go for Paracetamol. I wish more people would get this information.
Re: Nigerians And Paracetamol Consumption by Sanguine77(m): 8:22pm On Oct 28, 2014
This treatise is very correct. Nigerians abuse drugs like kilode, even the enlightened ones. I implore everybody including myself to seek medical advise before embarking on a suicidal attempt to self-medicate. God bless Nigeria.

Not only does it affect the liver, too many painkillers pose a threat to the health of the kidneys. I'm sure, the rise in kidney-related deaths maybe linked to abuse of painkillers (and some other drugs). Take care of your health. Stay alive! We need you!

Re: Nigerians And Paracetamol Consumption by hammyjoe(f): 8:44pm On Oct 28, 2014
This is so true, I as a person use paracetamol only when I have exhausted all other options(e.g cold bath, taking rest in a cool dark room, finding something to eat). Please guys visit my blog @ macsurgeevents..com

Billyonaire:
Most times I am left bewildered when someone generalizes anything happening in his/her small community with all Nigerians, where in Nigeria does the writer of this piece really know to generalize this stupidity ?

This is what we Nigerians do. We serially abuse drugs. Both the orthodox and non orthodox type. Not generalisation at all. The adverts are nationwide and the way we abuse pain killers is nationwide culture too

Yes oo, my mum loves taking paracetamol every night, even if she isn't sick, she will still take it.

I do tell her that what she is taking is too much, but she won't bugde, and you know naija mothers, they be like, "shey iwo ni doctor?". It saddens me but she's already addicted to it.
