Guardian.UK: Calls for ibuprofen sale restrictions after study finds cardiac arrest risk.
Last September a study in British Medical Journal found they were linked to an increased risk of heart failure. Previous studies have linked the drugs to abnormal heart rhythm – which can cause heart failure – and an increased risk of heart attack and stroke if taken regularly.
Sounds like they want to make it prescription-only in the UK. Probably wouldn't fly here, but the mention of heart rhythm ... I may go back to plain old aspirin for my aches and pains.
