RE: Common Painkillers Increase the Risk of Heart Attacks

I've never read anything about Cox inhibition and depression before. Might have to look into that a bit. Seems interesting.

Sort:  

The hypothesis is that it is based on the idea of depression being caused by a chronic inflammatory process. I seem to remember something in relation to paracetamol (acetaminophen) and depression too and obviously the mechanisms would be similar.

Tylenol is functional at inhibiting cox-2 in the CNS so it makes sense that it may help we're depression and inflammation linked.
