Abstract
Paracetamol is widely used as an over the counter analgesic because it is perceived to be safer than aspirin. In carefully selected trial populations, aspirin therapy carries a relatively low (but statistically significant) absolute risk increase in gastrointestinal adverse events. The risk from aspirin may potentially be higher in individuals who have risk factors for peptic ulcer or gastrointestinal haemorrhage. As such, paracetamol may well be the preferred choice in many instances.
