A study of 293 patients with Parkinson's Disease found that regular use of some non-prescription drugs known as NSAIDs reduced the risk of developing the disease. The protection persisted for 2 years after the patients stopped taking the drugs.
However, researchers warned that regular use of high dose aspirin and non-aspirin NSAIDs may cause gastrointestinal bleeding and other risks.
