Common painkillers, including ibuprofen, increase a person’s risk of cardiac arrest by a third, experts have warned. The drugs should not be sold in supermarkets or petrol stations, and should only be available on prescription, they said. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as a group were linked to a 31 percent increased risk of cardiac arrest. But, ibuprofen – the most common NSAID – increased that risk by a staggering 50 percent. |
Take it maybe once or twice a year now for a really bad headache or muscle tears...
Is the study for those that take it everyday ?
Aspirin has nothing to do with ibuprofen, Aleve or Advil.
Studies are published every day in medical journals all over the world. That does not mean the conclusions in any one study are more true than any other study.
Some publications like the Sun will repeat any controversial finding to increase readership.

Too much of anything is rarely good. The over abuse of pain killers can actually make some headache syndromes much worse etc. people just don't educate themselves. They rarely do. But there's no pill for lack of common sense.

81mg Aspirin a day will do more good for your heart. If you are worried about your heart see a cardiologist. A basic low dose aspirin regimen will do wonders for you. with exercise and proper diet.

If you have a headache or muscle ache and take 2 Advil, I find it very hard to believe you increase your heart attack risk by 33% unless you are already at high risk for one (high BP, overweight, elderly, etc).
If you have a headache or muscle ache and take 2 Advil, I find it very hard to believe you increase your heart attack risk by 33% unless you are already at high risk for one (high BP, overweight, elderly, etc).
You would have to take very high doses to effect your heart.
Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is great for pain management as well like any drug on controlled doses. unless you have liver problems.
I take 2 Advil whenever I get headaches which is like once every couple weeks. I highly doubt it is putting me at increased risk of cardiac arrest or is at all dangerous.

Don't forget the water. Motrin and water cures all.

The amount of aspirin suggested for heart health isn't close to what people take for headaches. Using your 81mg as an example, most people I know would need 2 extra strength (1,000mg) for a headache or aches and pains.

A low dose aspirin regimen keeps the same levels of aspirin in your system so you don't have to shock it with high doses. You stay more even helps you cope with managing the pain. Again this for those who abuse other drugs like Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen. lots of Aspirin in high doses can do terrible things to your stomach.
This survey had to be done on high doses and people who abused the drugs.
Also if you are getting headaches all the time not due to injury you really need to be checked. Early warning signs to bigger things should not be ignored.
Risks of NSAIDs - ( New Window )
if you are getting Migraine headaches alot or are an athlete who has an injuries than you need more than over the counter drugs.
right now I am just bored and killing time.

Don't forget to change your socks as well. You have to take care of your feet!
That's the second sentence of the article. Who is "they"?!
Is this like an inside joke going over my head?
It's well known that Ibuprofen increases heart attack risk...this isn't news.

This is sadly what passes for science journalism anymore.
