There is no safe medicine. All have side effects. If it is possible,better not to use. If it is really needed - use in moderation since ,if i am allowed to rephrase Paracelsus a bit, all medications are simply poisons in low doses.
Finding dosage that will work on something we want it to while not doing anything harmful somewhere else is impossible.
Nsaids specifically are known to cause problems to cardiovascular system for years,harm depending on specific medicine and dosage. High cholesterol group specifically in risk - this is new.

well said,very true.

The main ingredient in pharmaceuticals is always greed.
That's why there's so many side effects.

Definitely,a lot of money is made unfortunately at others expense.

I am not too sure that you should include aspirin in this list . . . it sounds like a study that is more specific to naproxin and other closely related NSAIDS (such as Ibuprofen and its relation to increased strokes in some people). Aspirin still has MANY studies that have been done that backup its benefits for the circulatory system. This is definitely something to keep an eye on though . . . only time and further study will bring out the truth in this . . . so if you take an aspirin a day . . . I would personally keep taking it until there is more information on this study.

I included aspirin because previous research has linked it with negative side effects, it also being a nsaid I wanted to make brief mention for anyone who may not of been aware of the different variants of nsaids just in case.
I do not take a aspirin daily myself,only my mother.
it should be said she probably takes more ibuprofen as well so I made note how it worries me overall.

I agree,further research needs to be done but from what I have already researched I would say that I would NOT take anything,let alone nsaids just because one doctor says so,I always recommend a second opinion.

At the end of the day it is your choice,your life.

It is a shame we have to even worry about things like this to begin with,a part of life sure,I do not trust big pharmaceuticals one bit or the FDA for that matter,most are crooks in the grand scheme of things,I am not saying all associated/employed are in on it but the higher ups I would not doubt for one sec.
