Researchers warn against the risk of misuse of anti-inflammatory drugs. This is a type of medication sold over the counter.
This is only in the column that gives a sign of discomfort that Zenaide cook Pereira Maciel rushes to the pharmacy behind a cure for inflammation.
"It removes the tiredness, the pain that I am with it.And the other day I am somebody else.I always use the old recipes", a- he declared.
A very high-definition microscope and three years of study in a UFMG laboratory have brought to light the danger inherent in self-medication.
Scientists have mapped immune system cells from guinea pigs treated with anti-inflammatory drugs for sale in drug stores. The tests worked as follows: they applied anti-inflammatory drugs to mice with liver lesions and found that, to a certain extent, the remedies relieved the symptoms and controlled the pain. But they also found that long-term use disrupted what was most expected: the treatment of the problem.
"What the study has shown is that blocking inflammation with anti-inflammatory drugs in an uncontrolled or exaggerated manner instead of having beneficial effects on healing delays the repair of the injured tissue, and then delays the return to normal organ function, "said Gustavo Menezes, a researcher at the Institute of Biological Sciences at UFMG.
The results of the research were published in the Swiss journal "Cells", which specializes in biology studies. They will serve as a reference for scientists around the world and may even contribute to the development of safer drugs.
"Excessive anti-inflammatory drugs can cause mild stomach discomfort or even mental confusion, liver diseases that can lead to liver transplantation in the most severe cases."
The specialist José de Resende Barros Neto remember that patients will always have an important role to play in the fight against uncontrolled use.
"Every tablet that he takes is a small risk for him." And if he has other diseases – and this is not usually uncommon, for example, diabetes, hypertension – and end up taking anti-inflammatory drugs, it's more or less the smoker who has a very serious family history of infarction or lung cancer and who continues to smoke despite this. Does that mean he will have the problem? But that increases the chances, "said Barros Neto, scientific director of the Mining Society of Nephrology.
