WOMEN who pop ibuprofen while on the Pill are at risk of a killer blood clot, experts say.<\/p>\n
Danish scientists found those taking the combined pill, the most common form of contraception used in the UK, are most likely to experience the life-threatening emergency.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They said that although the risk of a blood clot was low, women should be aware of the risks.<\/p>\n
Blood clots are dangerous since they can lodge in the lungs causing breathing and heart problems.<\/p>\n
The study, which involved more than two million women, found those on newer combined pills like Yasmin or Lucette were at greatest risk.<\/p>\n
Women taking the mini pill or using implants and coils were much less likely to experience the event.<\/p>\n

Previous studies have shown that the painkiller can increase the risk of stroke.<\/p>\n
But this is the first time a link has been found between the drug and hormonal contraception.<\/p>\n
Researchers from the University of Copenhagen, investigated the medical records of healthy women between the ages of 15 to 49 years over 21 years.<\/p>\n
The study, published in the British Medical Journal, found women who take anti-inflammatories while on the Pill were 1.5 times more likely to have a blood clot, compared with those who were not using hormonal contraception.<\/p>\n
