Long-term use of ibuprofen may reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, a large US study reports.
Data from almost 250,000 veterans showed those who used the painkiller for more than five years were more than 40% less likely to develop Alzheimer’s.
The study in Neurology reported that some other similar painkillers may also have a protective effect.
Dementia experts said the results were interesting but warned against people taking ibuprofen to reduce their risk.
It is not the first time an association between non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, and Alzheimer’s disease has been reported but results have been conflicting.

I have been using Ibuprofen for a long long time. I am a headache sufferer, pressure fronts rock my world. But maybe it was all to help me stave off Alzheimer’s…
Could be good… Could be bad… Who are we to judge?
Hmmm … if I recall correctly long time usage of things like Ibuprofen has negative impact on your blood.
I think this can only be judged one way Joe; anything to combat Alzheimer’s is great in my book.
