Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular effects: Clinical trial and epidemiological data suggest that the use of ibuprofen, particularly at high doses (2400 mg daily) and in long-term treatment, may be associated with a small increased risk of arterial thrombotic events (for example, myocardial infarction or stroke). Overall, epidemiological studies do not suggest that low doses of ibuprofen (for example, 2400 mg daily) are associated with a small increased risk of arterial thrombotic events (for example, myocardial infarction or stroke).
