An article has just been published calling for the restriction of sales of Ibuprofen. A Danish study suggests that it can increase the risk of cardiac arrest by 31%.
Prof Gunnar Gislason of the University of Copenhagen, who led the study, called for tighter controls on the sale of ibuprofen and other NSAIDs. He said: “Allowing these drugs to be purchased without a prescription, and without any advice or restrictions, sends a message to the public that they must be safe."

As someone who goes through a lot of Ibuprofen, it's something I'll be keeping a close eye on. The thought of having to go to the GP and get a prescription for it every time gives me shivers.
