A member asked:
What medications can you not take with an nsaid allergy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See Allergist: NSAID examples include aspirin, ibuprofen, Motrin, Aleve (naproxen). A true NSAID allergy is actually very rare and your reaction history should be discussed with Allergist to confirm your suspicions. Pseudoallergic reaction can also occur with NSAIDs and are seen in people with aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease or chronic hives. Take acetaminophen (Tylenol) instead until proper evaluation by Allergist
