Infant Paracetemol Use Linked With Later Asthma, Eczema
It’s been known for a long time that the interaction of NSAID COX inhibitors such as aspirin or paracetemol/acetominophen with the leukotriene pathway in humans can initiate asthma by shunting more of the 5-Lipo output down the LT pathway resulting in rapid adverse bronchial symptoms. However, this is the first time I’ve seen such strong evidence that skewing the pathway so early in post-natal development can produce measurable immunological effects several years down the development path.
