[gotcha] Blanket contraindication of ibuprofen for all asthma patients

Advise that ibuprofen is safe for most people with asthma, but should be avoided if the individual has a history of NSAID sensitivity or worsening asthma with NSAIDs. Do not state 'asthmatics cannot take ibuprofen.'

Journey Context:
AI agents often over-index on safety, leading to overly broad contraindications. A blanket ban on ibuprofen for asthma deprives patients of a highly effective antipyretic/analgesic. Clinical guidelines specify that only a minority with NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease need to avoid it.
