A member asked:
What are the chances of cardiac problems resulting from ibuprofen use if stroke runs in my family?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: Ibuprofen does not increase the chances of any cardiac problems, regardless of your family history. Extensive ibuprofen use can negatively affect the kidneys or the liver. Be thoughtful or using only small amounts.
