[SIZE=3]Painkillers used in Kenya linked to cardiac arrest, study shows
[B]Two painkillers commonly used in Kenya have been linked to increased risk of cardiac arrest, a study has shown.

Diclofenac and ibuprofen (Brufen) are readily available over the counter – without a doctor’s prescription – and can also be administered to children.

Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart suddenly stops pumping blood around the body.

The research published Wednesday in the European Heart Journal - Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy (EHJ-CVP) warns that increased cardiovascular risk is a global concern because the drugs are widely used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation and bring down a high temperature.

Most of these strong pain killers are just bought off the shelves like sweets in pharmacies.

I heard/read that most of people with renal problems have abused/self medicated on pain killers for long periods in their lives.

I knew about dicofenac after i had an accident, ukimeza pain inamalaysia mara hio hio, was taking two tablets a day, Dr. @Luther12 ndie aliniambia hii kitu ni mbaya, inaendaga kwa spine inablock sms za pain kufika kwa brain. The more you take it the more you numb those nerves

Hii diclofenac ni msuri sana kwa sisi wenye shida ya meno. I like sugary stuff, so whenever I buy any sweet things I must also stock up on that painkiller. Toothaches tend to strike at night when all pharmacies are closed.

Drugs are not sweets eti you just pop them, they all have side effects which you should ask a doctor about, some time ago nilisoma about TB drugs causing ear damage, PEP nayo may aggravate Hepatatitis, dont abuse medication.

Warn them. I’ve seen crazy results at the labs.

Yes it can. But the cause of arthritis needs to be addressed.
