“Acetaminophen is one of the most widely used over-the-counter medications, as it is considered a safer medication for long-term use since it lacks the anti-inflammatory effects of NSAIDs,” Rahul Gupta, MD, cardiovascular disease fellow at Lehigh Valley Health Network, told Healio. “Although acetaminophen has long been considered to be a much safer alternative to NSAIDs for treatment of mild to moderate pain in patients, the use over long term can worsen the systolic blood pressure, and caution is recommended in patients with known cardiovascular disease or with cardiovascular disease risk factors.”
