A member asked:

Are asthmatics allowed to consume nsaids such as diclofenac?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. John Chiu answered

Yes: If you have had no reaction to an nsaid, you can take it whether you have asthma or not. I understand why you are asking this question since avoidance of asa for people with asthma was advocated about 40 years ago by some experts.
