Blood pressure pills could raise cancer risk
Related: Blood Pressure, Cancer, pills, raise, Risk
No surprise here, but some of the world’s most popular blood pressure pills may slightly increase your risk of getting cancer. Of course doctors say it’s too soon to stop using the drugs.
In an analysis of five previous studies following some 60,000 patients, they found a link between people taking medicines known as angiotensin-receptor blockers, or ARBs, and cancer. The drugs are taken by millions of people for things like high blood pressure, heart problems and diabetic kidney disease.
Researchers found that people who took the drugs had a 1% higher risk of getting cancer than people who weren’t on the drugs. This included a range of cancers including prostate, breast and a noticeable spike in lung cancer.
When are we going to learn? The pharmaceutical companies are not interested in your health. Only your money.
