What are the side effects of ibuprofen and other anti-inflammatories?
18 hours ago
Did you know that ibuprofen is among the most consumed drugs in our country? According to data provided by the Ministry of Health, they consume about 37.89 daily doses per 1,000 inhabitants of this and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin or naproxen. We usually resort to them when we have pain and inflammation of the knee or any other joint, menstrual discomfort, minor trauma, toothache, headache ... because they reduce swelling and relieve pain.

We talk about quick solutions that we take at specific moments, but what happens when those pains persist over time? It is not the first time that we hear about possible contraindications that may have prolonged use. Are these drugs really so harmful that they can lead to health problems?

Studies on side effects
Earlier this year, the Agency for Medicines and Health Products (AEMPS) warned of new side effects for ibuprofen: the possibility of producing eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, also known as Dress * syndrome , and metabolic acidosis in case of intoxication severe or overdose

However, it is not the only study that has been carried out in recent years and whose results have only alerted, precisely, to new adverse effects caused by its overuse.

Last year, for example, was published in the March issue of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), the largest medical organization in the world dedicated to combat heart disease, a study conducted by the University Hospital of Copenhagen Gentofte , Denmark , from which the following conclusion was drawn: an abuse of the aforementioned drugs increases the risk of heart attack by 33%.

All patients who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital during a 10-year period were identified for the study. Of the 29,000 people who suffered a cardiac arrest, 3,376 were treated with an NSAID up to 30 days before the event, and the drugs most commonly used were ibuprofen and diclofenac.

In addition to irritating the stomach and significantly increasing the risk of disorders that can lead to kidney failure, the possibility of suffering from hypertension and the fact that both the heart and the circulatory system suffer from its presence should be added to the list of possible adverse effects. intake
