You could be putting your health at risk

Some of the most popular over-the-counter medications can actually put your health at risk, as one heart specialist has outlined the dangers in a new warning for people taking Omeprazole or Ibuprofen.

Many people incorrectly think that if a drug or form of medication is easy to access then it’s completely safe to consume, yet pretty much any treatment of this kind that you can take has risks and can damage your health if you take it in the wrong way or for over the intended period.

Though these risks aren’t quite as extreme as incorrect claims from President Donald Trump might have you believing in relation to a link between Tylenol and autism which has repeatedly been proven false, yet they are still something to consider next time you opt to take certain drugs or are prescribed them by your doctor.

Chief among these are both Omeprazole and Ibuprofen – two of the most-used forms of medication across the nation but you could be opening yourself up to issues down the line according to one heart specialist.

On his popular Instagram page, Dr Aurelio Rojas has explained that people must be wary when taking certain painkillers like the aforementioned pair, issuing a war:n:ing in addition for certain nasal decongestants and antidepressants.

He stated that these medications could be ‘sabotaging your health without your knowledge’, saying that he’s “not talking about unusual medications — I’m referring to the ones you take on a regular basis. And many people take them without realizing it.”
