A member asked:

Is it safe for a 20 year old to take aspirin. is there a risk of reyes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can happen: Although Reye's syndrome is generally considered a childhood disease, cases have been reported in adults. This is a rare phenomenon, but concerned people should consider using NSAIDs (Motrin, Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) instead ASA (aspirin).
