Question 1

if i have an aspirin allergy, with gastritis, why does naproxen not cause me problems?

Accepted Answer

What are the: symptoms? It could be rather an adverse drug reaction to aspirin and not a true allergy. If you do have true allergic reaction to aspirin, you better avoid all the NSAIDs , including naproxen, as you may very well develop a reaction later. Follow up with your allergist, or see one if you haven't already, check acaai.org or aaaai.org for an allergist in your area, best wishes

Question 5

ibuprofen, aspirin now cause mild hives. tylenol (acetaminophen) doesn't help me. it's only hives, can i still take it? is it even a "true" allergy? i have no asthma

Accepted Answer

Avoid Aspirin etc: Hives indicate a true allergy. You do not have to have wheezing, coughing --signs of an asthma reaction- to call this a serious allergy.  1% of the  population is allergic to Aspirin and other anti inflammatories. Sometimes, though not usually in those with hives, allergists desensitize patients so they can take these medicines but this is complex  look carefully at labels all medications always!
