[gotcha] Blanket stating ibuprofen and other NSAIDs are contraindicated for all asthmatics

Clarify that NSAID-sensitive asthma is a subset \(approx 10-20%\), not all asthmatics. Advise checking with a doctor first rather than a hard 'never take', unless they have a history of NSAID-induced bronchospasm.

Journey Context:
Many AI guardrails over-correct and tell asthmatics to absolutely avoid ibuprofen. While NSAIDs can trigger severe bronchospasm in sensitive individuals, a blanket ban causes unnecessary avoidance of effective pain/fever medication. The NHS states it's a risk for a subset, so the safe, evidence-based recommendation is conditional caution, not absolute contraindication.
