A member asked:

If allergic to aspirin, would it also mean that you would be allergic to ibuprofen or advil (ibuprofen) that both have aspirin present in them?

Yes: If you allergic to Aspirin it is unlikely that you will be allergic to products like Ibuprofen or Naproxen (they're different compounds). However, if you are taking any product that contains Aspirin you run the risk of having an allergic reaction to the Aspirin component.
