Penicillin cuts risk of stroke: Study
ANI Sunday, August 10, 2003
Washington - Taking penicillin reduces the risk of stroke among elderly patients with hypertension,
concludes a new Canadian study.
Researchers from McGill University looked at the health records of close to 30,000 patients treated
for hypertension.
According to a report in Ivanhoe, they focused on 1,888 patients who had suffered a stroke and then
selected 9,440 patients who had not suffered a stroke.
It was found that current, recent and past use of penicillin all had a protective benefit against
having a stroke. Specifically, current penicillin users were 47 per cent less likely to have a
stroke. Those who had taken the antibiotic recently had a 27 per cent reduction in stroke risk.
Researchers also found that other antibiotics noted in the study did not show the same consistent
benefit against stroke.
