A member asked:
Im allergic to naproxen and ibuprofen is there a safe alternate for me to reduce swelling and inflamation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Salsalate?: This drug is a derivative of aspirin, but does not have an effect on prostaglandin formation, and is generally safe for people with intolerance to other nsaids. It also does not hurt the stomach. Ask your doctor about it!
