Anti-inflammatory painkillers (NSAIDs) such as Motrin and Advil have been proven to relieve minor pains associated with arthritis and other conditions, but when researchers conducted a trial to see if regular Aspirin users could use Aspirin for its heart-attack prevention and use anti-inflammatory painkillers at the same time they were astonished with the results. Researchers concluded that “Aspirin is thought to reduce the risk of heart attack by attaching itself to an enzyme, called COX-1, that promotes blood clotting. Because aspirin and other NSAIDs share a common docking site on COX-1, the other NSAIDs can occupy these sites instead of aspirin, thus reducing aspirin's protective effect.” New England Journal of Medicine suggested that regular use of ibuprofen, even when it's taken 12 hours before aspirin, reduces the benefit of aspirin.
