Masalah migrain bukanlah suatu penyakit yang asing bagi
ramai individu. Ianya menyerang sesiapa saja baik lelaki mahupun wanita
termasuklah pelajar, golongan professional, yang sering stress dan terbeban
dengan tugasan di pejabat serta individu yang tidak mendapat rehat secukupnya.
Apabila keadaan ini menjadi bertambah teruk, rata-rata daripada mereka akan
mengambil jalan mudah dengan menelan panadol mahupun ponstant bagi memberi
kelegaan sementara terhadap keadaan migrain yang dialami.
Pengambilan ubat-ubatan seperti panadol dan ubat tahan
sakit bukanlah tidak boleh, namun sekiranya diambil dengan terlalu kerap dan
pada dos yang tinggi, ianya akan membawa kepada kemudaratan yang akhirnya boleh
menjejas tahap kesihatan seseorang itu.

"Panadol, a brand of acetaminophen, is widely used for pain relief and fever control in adults and children. Panadol can have a few untoward side effects, some of them irreversible and lethal.Liver DamageAs outlined by the Merck Manuals Online Medical Library, an overdose of acetaminophen can cause drug-induced liver damage. In fact, Panadol is considered a common cause of liver injury in the United States. In toxic doses, it causes direct injury to liver cells. This manifests in the beginning as nausea, fatigue, weakness, and pain in the upper-right side of the abdomen---the liver's anatomical location.The Merck Manuals also describes possible damage to the kidneys as one of the potential side effects of long-term use of acetaminophen. Kidney damage due to this disease is referred to as analgesic nephropathy. Analgesic nephropathy is responsible for about 3 to 5 percent of cases of renal failure in the United States.Patients may complain of back pain, pain in their side and bloody or cloudy urine. When the condition is identified early and the intake of pain-relieving drugs is stopped, the course of the disease can be halted and the patient improves. Analgesic nephropathy also places the patient at a greater risk for urinary tract cancers."
