The researchers believe that ibuprofen clogs a channel inside a clot- aspirin benefit, study says The popular pain reliever g ibuprofen blocks the effects of aspirin, according to a study that sounds a warning for people who take both medicines. It would not do you a lot of good to take one medication only to have another wipe out its effects, said Muredach Reilly, a University ofPenn-sylvancardiologist who took part in heart-protectin- ia the study reported in nt Wednesdays New England Journal ofMedicine. Many heart patients regularly take aspirin because it thins the blood and prevents the dots that cause heart attacks. Ibuprofen, which is in Motrin and Advil, is widely used for arthritis and other aches and pains. In the study, when patients took a single dose of ibuprofen beforehand, aspirin lost 98 percent of its bloodthinning power. When aspirin was taken fist, three daily doses of ibuprofen sapped aspi ting enzyme known as cyclooxygenase-1- . Aspirin gets stuckat the bottleneck and cannot reach its own active site inside the enzyme. The study was funded partly by the National Institute ofHealth end aspirin maker Bayer. The study found no conflict between aspirin and three other arthritis drugs: rofecoxib, diclofenac, and acetaminophen, which is in Tylenol. But the researchers suggested that other drugs with structures like ibuprofen, such as indomethacin, will similarly block aspirin. Ibuprofen belongs to a widely used class of pain relievers known as nonsteroidal drugs. "This isnt an indictment of all nonsteroidala, but it does give one pause, said Leslie Crofford, an arthritis specialist at the University of Michigan. She wrote an accompany-ita- g editorial. She said researchers should now study humans to verify if these laboratory findings translate into a real danger ofheart attacks. Reprinted with permission of the SaULakefrUnine.
