A new study in the British Medical Journal reveals that popular non-selective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, are linked to an increased risk of heart failure. seven Danish health researchers have also noted in an accompanying article that because of the widespread use of NSAIDs, “even a small increase in cardiovascular risk is a concern for public health” and since they can be bought over the counter in supermarkets this “further fuels the common misconception that NSAIDs are harmless drugs that are safe for everyone”.
