A new study says diabetics may run a greater risk of having a stroke if they use the pain reliever acetaminophen.
French researchers found about 5% of people who took acetaminophen suffered strokes, compared to 4% who didn't take acetaminophen but had a stroke.
The study was conducted among older people living in nursing homes in France.
The researchers' aim was to explore any connection between acetaminophen use, death, and major heart events such as strokes and heart attacks.
