Common painkiller may weaken Aspirin's heart attack protection

This study looked at whether taking acetaminophen (like Tylenol) can reduce aspirin's ability to prevent heart attacks. Researchers gave 55 healthy adults and smokers both drugs in different orders to see if timing matters. The goal was to understand if acetaminophen interferes with aspirin's blood-thinning effects, which could affect how people with heart disease or arthritis manage their medications.
