A member asked:
I've read that there has been no association reported between aspirin and stevens johnsons syndrome or tens unlike other nsaids. true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No -: While the occurrences of SJS or TENs caused by any NSAID is rare, there are reports. They are definitely not the most common offenders, but events have been reported. There is a european case-control report that looked at all SJS/TENs cases between '89-'95; and all meds reportedly taken in the week leading up to presentation of symptoms - No increase risk reported but the study was flawed.
