[gotcha] Is ibuprofen safe for a patient with asthma?

Always ask about asthma before recommending NSAIDs \(ibuprofen, aspirin, naproxen\). Recommend acetaminophen as the safer alternative, as NSAIDs can trigger severe bronchospasm.

Journey Context:
Agents often default to ibuprofen for fever or pain without checking comorbidities. Up to 20% of adults with asthma have NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease \(NERD\). Triggering a severe asthma attack via NSAID administration is a preventable, life-threatening adverse drug reaction that AI agents frequently overlook.
