Using paracetamol immediately after getting a vaccine can weaken your immune system- claim in research
Scientists have done a new research, through which an attempt has been made to find out whether commonly used drugs affect the body’s response to a disease like Covid-19. The findings that have emerged suggest that some of these drugs have the potential to be involved in the fight against infectious diseases, both old and new. It states that taking paracetamol or ibuprofen before or immediately after vaccination is not recommended or recommended. Because it can reduce the immune system of the body.
This study has been published in the journal ‘British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology’. However, research into these drugs has focused on their effects on managing pain and fever. Until now the effect of these medicines on the treatment of infectious diseases was not particularly clear. The results highlight the need for more studies with wider implications in this less-recognized area of research.
Aspirin an affordable and great alternative to tuberculosis
Research suggests that morphine, used for pain, suppresses key cells of the immune system, where there is an increased risk of infection after cancer surgery. It has been revealed in the results that medicines like paracetamol, ibuprofen, aspirin can reduce the immune response from the corona vaccine. It further suggested that aspirin could be an affordable and excellent alternative to tuberculosis, which mainly affects poor countries. Its beneficial results are visible in animals and humans.
Writers surprised by the research
The researchers, led by the University of Sydney’s Faculty of Medicine and Health, opted for a ‘clinical’ review due to the wide range of available evidence, considering the importance of further research and trials regarding infectious disease responses. The research was unprepared and the findings were unexpected with lead author Christina Abdel Shaheed. He said he was initially interested in studying the potential effects of paracetamol during the pandemic, when people hoarded the drug in the first months of COVID-19. He said that we decided to study pain relievers and fever medicines in general and were amazed by what we found.
