How dangerous is your painkiller? | Daily Mail OnlineResearchers have today revealed the exact risk of having a heart attack or stroke from taking several common painkillers.
The heart dangers of ibuprofen, celecoxib, mefenamic acid, diclofenac and naproxen - taken by millions worldwide to dampen pain - have been assessed.
Taiwanese expertshave concluded that the five different tablets could all affect the heart within four weeks, but some are more dangerous than others.
They assessed the odds of a major cardiovascular event for each of the popular painkillers, using data from 56,00 adults with hypertension - high blood pressure.
They discovered, on average, one in 330 adults who have been taking ibuprofen will experience a heart attack or stroke within four weeks.
However, the drug, costing as little as 2p a tablet and available in corner shops, was found to be three times less dangerous than celecoxib, which will lead to one in 105 adults experiencing a heart attack or stroke.
