How does Acetaminophen influence the risk of developing gastrointestinal ulcers and how does this compare to other pain relievers like NSAIDs?
Acetaminophen poses a minimal risk to gastrointestinal ulcers compared to NSAIDs, which significantly increase ulcer risk due to their mechanism of inhibiting COX enzymes.
Acetaminophen carries lower gastrointestinal risk than NSAIDs, as it largely bypasses the COX pathways central to GI inflammation seen with NSAID usage.
