What pain relievers can an Asthmatic take?


I know Ibuprofin causes attacks, but does aspirin? How about acetomeniphin?

looking at your pretty face is enough to relax the strongest pain

And I stay away from things that cause asthma... Also... I told myself not to have it anymore and it went away... YAY! Report It

I also have asthma. Ibuprofin has never given me an attack. Asprin or acetomeniphin should be ok.

TALK WITH YOUR DOCTOR !!!!!! to many drugs have bad reactions if mixed.plus different drugs work different on different people. what works right with one person might not work right for you.

Acetaminophen should be fine, unless you are allergic to the drug itself.
The problem is with medicines that work by blocking the enzyme COX or cyclooxygenase, that includes asprin and NSAIDS like ibuprofen.

I have severe Asthma, and had it about 99% of my life I am now 29. I take aspirin, Motrin, Tylenol, and other prescription pain killers. You should really talk to your doc or pharmacist. Some people have aspirin sensitive asthma and it can cause an attack, and some people react to Motrin(ibuprofen) the same way. It really depends on the person. If the pain is severe you may want to call the ER for advise, or go there. It really depends on you, and how you react. No one reacts the same to medications.

It depends on what type of allergies they may have and what medicines they are taking. The pharmacist that handles your prescriptions will tell you if the pain killers are right or wrong for you. Acetomenophen is merely the generic name for aspirin. They are anti-coagulants as well as analgesics. Make sure that there is no alergy there. Alleve is high in sodium. Motrin is similar to Tylenol. And all three are similar if not the same as Ibuprofen which is a generic again. Ask the pharmacist. It may just be a question of dosage.

Asprin never gave me an attack, but I think you should ask your Doctor first

Aspirin bothers my asthma and it is a known asthma trigger. I take tylenol. And doctor gives me tylenol with codiene if I have severe pain. Ask your pharmacist; he will tell you.

You need to talk with your primary care physcian or whomever you're seeing for your asthma. What pain relievers you can safely take depends greatly on what type of medications you're taking for the asthma.

See a doctor. Asthma kills. Below is a generic recommendation on temporary measures.

None of the above mentioned medications, barring to allergies, are really effective.

A bronchodilator and shot of steriods may provide immediate relief. (1)

Treatments to alleviate symptoms and pain, barring internal bleeding through prolonged inflammation, commonly from excerpt on Bioportfolio:

Inhalers (1)(Ventolin: Opens air ways in lungs)
Steroids (Bad cases, requires Doctor's prescription)
Metered Dose Inhalers (As above)
Dry Powder Inhalers (Not so effective for serious asthmatics)
Spacers / Preventors (2)(Maintains open air ways and reduces inflammation of the lungs)
Nebulizers
Oxygen (once symptoms are under control)

Above list excludes alternative medicines and nutrition to improve the respiratory system, alleviate symptons therein and
reduces likelyhood of recurrence.

Gentle reminder: See a doctor concerning symptoms. Asthma kills. Asthma is controllable.

no, and no
