7. Aspirin Causes Death? June 17, 1999 June 17, 1999 An article published in the New England Journal of Medicine said that aspirin and aspirin- related drugs might cause as many deaths every year as AIDS. Aspirin and non-steroidal anti- inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as naproxen and ibuprofen, have been known to cause ulcers and other stomach problems in some people. However, this article said that as many as 16,500 people are killed each year from ulcers and ulcer related complications from using these medications. If put in a class by itself, complications from aspirin and NSAIDs would rank about the 15th leading cause of death in the United States.

If put in a class by itself, complications from aspirin and NSAIDs would rank about the 15th leading cause of death in the United States. One of the reasons why many deaths are associated with these medications is because they are so widely used. About 26 billion over-the-counter pain-relieving tablets are taken every year. Recently a new class of drugs, known as COX-2 inhibitors, has been introduced to the drug market. These drugs are thought to cause fewer ulcers than other NSAIDs. However, it is not yet clear whether they are truly safer. Drugs in this class include Celebrex and Vioxx.
