Do you often have pain in your head, lower back or neck, and reach for a painkiller every time? Long-term and improper use of painkillers can pose serious risks to your health.
- Kidney damage. Especially at high doses or with long-term use, some painkillers can result in impaired kidney function.
- Liver damage. Many painkillers can have a negative effect on the liver and, with long-term use, can lead to liver damage.
- Dependence. Some high-dose painkillers can cause the patient to become dependent on the medication.
- Stomach bleeding. The use of painkillers can result in heartburn and gastritis, and, at high doses and with regular use, in stomach bleeding.
