\n Tylenol may not just stop aches and fevers, it may actually make you more prone to taking risks, according to a study published in the journal Social<\/a> Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAcetaminophen seems to make people feel less negative emotion when they consider risky activities \u2013 they just don\u2019t feel as scared,\u201d co-author of the study Baldwin Way, an associate professor of psychology at The Ohio State University, said in a press release.<\/p>\n

The researchers studied 189 college students who took 1,000 mg of acetaminophen (the active ingredient in Tylenol), which is the recommended dose for a headache, or a placebo that looked similar to Tylenol. Participants were then asked how risky certain activities \u2014 such as bungee jumping, starting a new career in your mid-30\u2019s, participating in a skydiving class and walking home in an unsafe area of town while alone at night \u2014 would be rated on a scale of one to seven.<\/p>\n

The study revealed that those who took acetaminophen rated those activities as less risky than the placebo group. The risk-taking effects from acetaminophen were also explored in other separate experimental studies involving 545 students, according to the press release.<\/p>\n

In those studies, participants were asked to click a button on a computer to inflate a balloon on the screen. The individual would receive virtual money with each click, they could stop at any time and add the money to their virtual bank, then move on to the next balloon.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you\u2019re pumping the balloon, it is getting bigger and bigger on your computer screen and you\u2019re earning more money with each pump,\u201d Way explained in the release. There is a risk, however.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs it gets bigger you have this decision to make: Should I keep pumping and see if I can make more money, knowing that if it bursts I lose the money I had made with that balloon?\u201d Way shared.<\/p>\n

Those who took the acetaminophen wound up with more burst balloons and pumped more times than the placebo group.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor those who are on acetaminophen, as the balloon gets bigger, we believe they have less anxiety and less negative emotion about how big the balloon is getting and the possibility of it bursting,\u201d Way further explained. \u201cIf you\u2019re risk-averse, you may pump a few times and then decide to cash out because you don\u2019t want the balloon to burst and lose your money.\u201d<\/p>\n

Way suggested the study findings have implications in daily lives as many things we do, like driving, involve assessing risk.<\/p>\n

Way also noted during the coronavirus pandemic with many taking acetaminophen for initial novel coronavirus symptoms, as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control, this can affect how some mitigate the spread of the virus.<\/p>\n

\u201cPerhaps someone with mild COVID-19 symptoms may not think it is as risky to leave their house and meet with people if they\u2019re taking acetaminophen,\u201d Way said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe really need more research on the effects of acetaminophen and other over-the-counter drugs on the choices and risks we take.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
