No: Aspirin can cause hemolysis in some individuals with G6PD deficiency. Aspirin is an NSAID, like the active ingredient of Volteran (diclofenac). G6PD mutations vary in severity, so please find out how it was diagnosed. You should have been provided with a list of meds and chemicals to strictly avoid.
