A member asked:
Hello i have recently developed an allergy to ibuprofen and aspirin i was wondering specifically what other nsaids can i take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Allergy : We would not try other nsaid's if you are allergic to the two. I would recommend tylenol (acetaminophen) as the next option. Make sure what you are calling an allergy actually is an allergy. Talk to your doctor. Stomach upset and nausea is not a n allergy while hives or trouble breathing is.

FDA recently stated non-aspirin NSAID can increase risk of heart attack and stroke. As a user of Advil, (ibuprofen) I take 400mg a few times a week or less for headache, some weeks not at all. Should I worry?

I've had psuedoallergies to nsaids. If i go thru a desensitization program for aspirin, does that also allow me to resume ibuprofen products?
