Can Advil cause cancer?!


Question: Can Advil cause cancer!?
My friends mom told her and she told me that advil can cause cancer so they dont use it!. Is it true!?Www@Youqa@Cn


Answers:
Advil (Ibuprofen) is an anti-inflammatory COX inhibitor!. Numerous studies suggest it may help PREVENT some cancers!. Chronic inflammation drives the process of carcinogenesis, so an anti-inflammatory may help slow the process!. In spite of this potential benefit, keep in mind that Ibuprofen has many potentially dangerous side-effects!.Www@Youqa@Cn

ive never heard that before, i doubt its true and if it is, the risk is probably extremely low!. aspirin has a similar mechanism of action and recent research has suggested it actually reduces the risk of cancer because of its antiinflammatory effectsWww@Youqa@Cn
