Ibuprofen Related To
The Causes Of Heart Attacks
-Ibuprofen causing a
higher chance of a heart attack-
One of the
most popular pain killers in the UK has shown to increase the chances of heart
attacks.
Recent
studies in Denmark have shown how ibuprofen is associated with a 31 percent
increase of making the heart stop.
Other
painkillers related to this are also presenting a similar danger, according to
recent searches. These pain killers are known as non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs. This also includes diclofenac, which was available
over the counter until 2015. It raises a risk of a heart attack by 50 percent.
This begins to raise concern as these painkillers are mostly prescribed to
patients.
A heart
expert, Professor Gunnar Gislason, who led these studies has said: “Allowing
these drugs to be purchased without a prescription and without any advice or
restrictions, sends a message to the public that they must be safe.”
He has
advised for people to not take more than 1200mg of ibuprofen, in one day, as
too much of this is harmful, dangerous and will higher the risk of a heart
attack.
