Yikes, I started taking Motrin after an auto accident. And have continued. I'm back to aspirin after reading this. My blood pressure had always been low, but has inched up a bit in recent years. The study doesn't mention or didn't investigate what affects if any occur when women go off these meds. But I'd like to know and hope it's good news. Bummer.
I believe a recent study has also shown that large or extended doses of ibuprophen can reduce body cartilage (promoting arthritis).
And unfortunately, some are saying that asprin can reduce the body's ability to clot blood quickly, which can promote retinal/macular problems when a little bleeding can turn into more than a little. (Maybe good for preventing strokes, maybe not so good for eyes.) I suppose this may have ramifications for some pre-menopausal ladies, too.
