Turmeric and genetics could alter painkiller effects, study finds

This early-phase study looks at how a common painkiller (diclofenac) is broken down in the body, and whether a person's genes or taking curcumin (from turmeric) change that process. About 30 healthy adults will take diclofenac alone and with curcumin to measure drug levels. The goal is to gather data for safer, more personalized dosing in the future.
