Citando:
"Packs of eight tablets of Viagra - also called sildenafil - would be made available, with men told to take no more than one tablet per day.

Viagra, which works by relaxing blood vessels, thereby allowing blood to flow to the penis, works for about eight hours and is designed to be used "on demand".

Erectile dysfunction can be caused by a range of conditions, including psychological problems, but can also be a sign of underlying heart disease, diabetes or high blood pressure."

"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.

"The findings are a stark reminder that NSAIDs are not harmless.

"Diclofenac and ibuprofen, both commonly used drugs, were associated with significantly increased risk of cardiac arrest.

"NSAIDs should be used with caution and for a valid indication. They should probably be avoided in patients with cardiovascular disease or many cardiovascular risk factors."
(...)
"The most common cause of a cardiac arrest is a life-threatening abnormal heart rhythm called ventricular fibrillation (VF).

It causes electrical activity in the heart to become so chaotic that the organ ceases to pump rhythmically and quivers or "fibrillates" instead. Without immediate treatment to keep the circulation going, death occurs in minutes.

Sales of over-the-counter painkillers amounted to almost £600 million in the UK in 2015, according to The Pharmaceutical Journal."

"Os inibidores da bomba de protões, a classe de medicamentos que contem omeprazol, lansoprazol, pantoprazol, rabeprazol, dexlansoprazol e esomeprazol, "não são isentos de riscos, como as interações com outros medicamentos, a ocorrência de erupções cutâneas, podendo ainda mascarar os sintomas de outras doenças", lembra o Infarmed. Assim, o seu uso não deve ser prolongado para além dos 14 dias nos casos agudos, existindo alternativas também de venda livre, como os antiácidos."
