OTC Painkillers: A NEW Danger (Study)

If you frequently turn to – or rely on – over-the-counter (OTC) painkillers to ease your aches and pains… I have some bad news for you, friend.
Sure, OTC painkillers are convenient, easy-to-find, and probably give you a little bit of relief for your joints…
But the relief doesn’t last very long, which means you need to keep taking more – and more!
And the more OTC painkillers you take, the greater risk you have of developing one of their countless side effects like nausea, stomach pain, and even stomach ulcers (just to name a few).
But that’s not the bad news I’m talking about…
You see, a study has uncovered a NEW danger of prolonged use of OTC painkillers… a danger that can lead to a condition that literally robs your freedom and steals your sanity!
And if left unchecked, it could last FOREVER…
Folks, researchers have discovered that frequent use of OTC painkillers significantly increases your risk of developing TINNITUS.
Yes, the debilitating condition characterized by constant (and seemingly never-ending) ringing of the ears.
A study led by Brigham and Women’s Hospital found that frequent use of NSAID painkillers such as ibuprofen (Advil) as well as the non-NSAID drug acetaminophen (Tylenol) can raise the risk of developing tinnitus by as much as 20%.

YIKES!
Now, there are a couple things to note about the study…
One, the study was done on women. But, those aren’t good odds even if you’re a guy.
Two, the increased risk of tinnitus skyrocketed not only with frequent use… but also when taking more than the recommended dosage. That is always a recipe for disaster.
Regardless, the study is a cautionary tale to avoid OTC painkillers as much as possible… and if you do take them, to only take the recommended dosage listed on the product label.
It also can’t hurt to have a conversation with your doctor about natural alternatives to OTC painkillers. There are plenty of them out there, including omega-3s and magnesium.
If he is reluctant to steer you away from OTC painkillers, it may be time to get a second opinion!
