Aspirin
Aspirin is a common, low strength pain killer. A low (so called baby) dose may also be used to protect against heart failure. Brand names include; Anadin and Bonjela.
This drug should be avoided, where possible, by those with asthma as there is a risk of an asthmas attack, urticaria (hives), angioedema (swelling) or rhinitis (inflammation inside the nose).1
You must not combine this with other NSAIDs such as diclofenac, ibuprofen or naproxin.
You can combine this with codeine and could combine it with fentanyl or morphine but the either of these would likely be a replacement.
