The NEW DANGER of NSAIDS (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs)

Minor Pain Reliever, MAJOR Side Effects

The most common run-to medication of society today for most minor to moderate aches and pains are the group of medications called NSAIDs or Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs. Over the years, these group of pain killers were used and recommended as the option for managing chronic pain and discomfort, as opposed to putting patients on long-term steroids. 

Part of the package of taking NSAIDS had always been the MAJOR side-effects that accompany the drug family. Many doctors already exercise caution when considering them for the relief of chronic pain because these drugs are also known to increase the risk of ulcers and serious bleeding in the stomach and gastrointestinal tract. 

A new study, however, shows that NSAIDs increase the risk of heart attack. Those who have had a previous cardiovascular episode, especially, may DOUBLE their risk of having another episode of myocardial infarction or a cardiac arrest if they are on NSAIDs therapy.

There had been two new studies that add to the growing evidence that increased cardiac risk from Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) is NOT limited to the Cox-2 agents.

The first study, published in the British Medical Journal, studied over 9000 patients who had suffered heart attacks, and examined their usage of NSAIDS. They found that the risk of heart attack was INCREASED for patients who were taking NSAIDs by as much as 20 - 50%! In this study, the association with a higher risk of heart attack was especially significant for ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), Diclofenac (Voltaren, Cataflam), and rofecoxib (Vioxx) - but there was at least a trend toward increased risk for all NSAIDs.

The second study was reported at the 2005 meetings of the European League Against Rheumatism scientific meetings in Vienna, Austria. Investigators reported similar findings in the largest study of NSAIDs reported so far - tracking over 1 million patients with arthritis treated with NSAIDs.
