- KingMachiavelli 5y agoReally? At what size of an effect of increased risk of ADHD, obesity, etc. do we say that a non-tangible amount of pain should be endured? IMO the biggest benefit of studies like this is to discourage pointless use of OTC painkillers. These painkillers are pretty weak anyway so if you old have mild discomfort or find that your pain isn't responding to the drug this is yet another reason to not just 'pop an asprin' (or ibuprofen, Tylenol, etc.) at the slightest bit of discomfort or even taking it regularly without good reason. I have seen even young people just get in the habit of taking ibuprofen, Benadryl, etc. multiple times a week or even daily which just seems excessive. On the other hand, we are reaching the point where everything is a compromise. If you are pregnant AND working I am going to take a gamble and guess that OTC pain meds are pretty much par for the course.
