One of the most elaborate studies done in the Bern University in Switzerland analyzed data from 31 trials taking into account the results of 116,000 patients who had addicted to painkillers and were taking them regularly. The doctors found that heart patients using high dose painkiller once a day, in  a year, can triple the risk of getting a stroke.

 Here are the painkiller addiction drugs that were seen to cause heart-attacks and strokes, while taking in excess:
Naproxen, Ibuprofen, celecoxib, diclofenac, etoricoxib, lumiracoxib and rofecoxib.

While comparing with placebo, it has been found that rofecoxib and lumiracoxib addiction can up the risk of heart-attack by two times, while Ibuprofen can increased the risk of stroke by three times. Etoricoxib and diclofenac were associated with four times the high risk of death from heart attack or stroke. Of all these pain killer drugs, Naproxen is the least harmful in terms of  cardiovascular experts, said the experts.

  1. Thanks for the something totally new you have unveiled in your blog post. One thing I’d really like to comment on is that FSBO interactions are built after a while. By introducing yourself to the owners the first saturday and sunday their FSBO is definitely announced, before the masses commence calling on Thursday, you develop a good link. By giving them methods, educational materials, free reports, and forms, you become the ally. Through a personal desire for them along with their scenario, you build a solid interconnection that, in many cases, pays off if the owners decide to go with a realtor they know in addition to trust – preferably you.
