Ibuprofen May Up Heart Attack Risk:
"'The list of traditional NSAIDs seems to be comparable to the Cox-2 drugs in increasing heart attack risk,' says Hippisley-Cox, 'but when you put that into perspective, the vast majority of people taking these drugs will not be harmed by them.'"
Wow. I used to take a lot of Ibuprofen. Had a lot of trouble with my back. I stopped taking it when all the talk about kidney problems came up. But now, it's being linked to increased heart attack risk. That's a bummer. Is there anything that doesn't kill you anymore?
