Cardiologist Aurelio Rojas has stated that ibuprofen may pose potential risks to heart health, particularly when used frequently or in high doses. His comments were cited by Vanitatis.
“Ibuprofen is one of the most commonly used pain relievers worldwide, but from a cardiovascular perspective, it can be among the more concerning medications, especially when taken over long periods and in large amounts,” Rojas noted.
The doctor explained that in some situations, ibuprofen may not have a suitable alternative. In such cases, he recommends taking precautionary measures to reduce potential risks. One of the key steps is regular monitoring of blood pressure while using the medication.
Health experts generally advise that any long-term or high-dose use of pain relievers should be discussed with a healthcare professional, particularly for individuals with existing cardiovascular concerns.
