Like Aspirin Ibuprofen can cause stomach bleeding and might even be worse than aspirin in this regard and should never be taken on an empty stomach. However unlike aspirin ibuprofen has been implicated in hypertension and heart attack.
How do I know? I take Brufen which is a higher dose ibuprofen tablet for its anti inflammatory properties (as well as a mild painkiller)

I've discussed this with my doctor and he does not seem too concerned. What do you think Pats?
I understand why you would be taking Iboprufen as an anti-inflamatory for your OA.

Thankfully, scientists are now challenging those additives: 'Many prominent scientists are alarmed by the content of some drinking water and actively seek to change the processes involved. The practice of making water safe to drink actually involves adding large amounts of extremely poisonous chemicals to it. Key scientists are now providing evidence that long-term ingestion of small amounts of chemicals like these could be the cause of some major health problems.'

I think when you add all these modern pollutants together, that's where many ailments will have come from.

"Ibuprofen (INN) (/ˈaɪbjuːproʊfɛn/ or /aɪbjuːˈproʊfən/ EYE-bew-PROH-fən; from iso-butyl-propanoic-phenolic acid) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for pain relief, fever reduction,[1] and for reducing swelling.Ibuprofen has an antiplatelet effect, though relatively mild and somewhat short-lived compared with aspirin or prescription antiplatelet drugs. In general, ibuprofen also has a vasodilation effect.[2] Ibuprofen is a 'core' medicine in the World Health Organization's Model List of Essential Medicines necessary to meet the minimum medical needs of a basic healthcare system.[3][4][5][6]
Ibuprofen was derived from propanoic acid by the research arm of Boots Group during the 1960s[7] and patented in 1961. Originally marketed as Brufen, ibuprofen is available under a variety of popular trademarks, including Motrin, Nurofen, Advil, Nuprin and many others.[8] Generic formulations are available as well"
from wiki. I knew about the stomach problems. Is there an alternative? I guess I could try naproxen.
