Ibuprofen may reduce risk of getting Parkinson’s disease by a third

Regular use of the painkiller and anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen may reduce the risk of Parkinson’s disease by a third, a major study has found.

People who took the drug at least twice a week had a 38% lower risk of developing the condition than those who used other painkillers, such as aspirin, scientists said.

The findings, based on a review of 136,000 patient records, build on previous studies that also reported an apparent protective effect in those who took the drug — via redwolf.newsvine.com
