[gotcha] Recommending ibuprofen as a safe over-the-counter alternative without screening for asthma
Always screen for asthma before recommending NSAIDs. NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease \(NERD\) affects a significant minority of asthmatics and can trigger severe, life-threatening bronchospasm.
Journey Context:
AI models often suggest ibuprofen as a standard alternative to paracetamol. However, up to 20% of asthmatics have sensitivity to NSAIDs. Recommending it without checking for asthma can trigger an acute asthma attack.
