Is anyone allergic to Aspirin (N.S.A.I.D.S)? If so, do you know of any other types of things to aviod that may be related to being allergic to Aspirin, that I may not be aware of? Has anyone had any really bad side affects from taking Aspirin?
Thanks!!

Keep in mind that side effects and allergies are not the same thing. And an allergy to aspirin (esp. apirin) would not indicate that your allergic to other NSAIDs.

Good luck!

Hi rubindj,
Thanks for your reply!!
I went to an allergy doctor that stated that I'm allergice to Aspirin (my throat started to close on me and I get swollen REALLY BAD), he stated that I should stay away from all N.S.A.I.D.S., (None Steroid Anti Inflammatory Drugs) I also had an allergic reaction to Pepto Bismol. This is the reason I was checking if there is anything else I should be aware of that I may not know of, I've been keeping an Epipen on me just in case.

Oops forgot, I've also had an allergic reaction to ibuprofen too.

Pepto's main active ingredient is Bismuth. Its hard to know if that's what you reacted to, but for what its worth, I would avoid it until told differently.
