[It should be noted that people in the trial were taking very high doses of ibuprofen a day (2.4g)]

This is a fairly high dosage, considering that the average off-the-shelf pill is no more than 200mg, although prescriptions can range to 800 mg. Nonetheless, an interesting study.

The risk was only for those at a high risk of a heart attack or stroke. In this group for those not taking aspirin the risk was higher for people taking lumiracoxib than it was for those taking naproxen. But it was no higher for those taking ibuprofen alone

The risk seems to be to people already in danger of a heart attack, or stroke, not to those who have no pre-existing risk.

Statistics have proven that 100% of the people who live a healthy lifestyle...die!!! The same statistics hold true for pain relievers.
