Mixture toxicity of the anti-inflammatory drugs
diclofenac, ibuprofen, naproxen, and acetylsalicylic acid. Aspirin and cold medications containing acetylsalicylic acid (the
major ingredient in aspirin) should never be taken for symptoms of
possible influenza, since this increases the risk of a rare but
potentially fatal disease called Reye's syndrome, especially in
children and young adults.
These foods are referred to as salicylates, from the scientific name for
aspirin: acetylsalicylic acid. |
