Considering the patient's use of acetaminophen and enoxaparin, what is the most likely mechanism by which these two medications can be safely combined in therapy?
Enoxaparin enhances the analgesic effect of acetaminophen through anti-inflammatory properties. Both acetaminophen and enoxaparin are metabolized by the liver, necessitating dose adjustment to prevent toxicity. Acetaminophen does not affect coagulation pathways, allowing safe concurrent use with enoxaparin. Acetaminophen inhibits platelet function, which enoxaparin counteracts, balancing bleeding risk.
