FDA: Pain Relievers Increase Risk of Stroke

Chances are you have at least one of them in your medicine cabinet - popular pain relievers like Advil, Motrin, and Aleve.

The Food and Drug Association now warns these brands and other NSAID drugs raise your risk of heart attacks and strokes by as much as 50 percent.

The risk grows with how long and how frequently you take the pain killers.

The bottles have carried warnings that they "may" increase risk - and now manufacturers will drop those words to reflect the new findings by the FDA.
