Drugs that can make you worseAspirin and its relatives have a very bad effect on some people with rhinitis and/or asthma (see box on p. 151). Unfortunately, recent research shows that paracetamol is not safe either. It makes asthma more likely to develop in those who do not yet have the disease, and increases the severity of asthma symptoms for those who do. Unlike aspirin, paracetamol affects everyone, because it lowers the levels of a natural antioxidant, called glutathione, which the body makes to protect the lungs from oxidants. The greatest effects are seen in people who take paracetamol regularly (once a week or more), but even an occasional dose makes some difference.
