An unusual complication of flu is Reye's syndrome, which usually occurs in children and adolescents and rarely occurs in adults. Reye's syndrome is not well understood but it involves failure of the liver and brain swelling, which together can lead to coma and sometimes death. A link has been shown between the use of aspirin during influenza illness and the development of Reye's syndrome. For this reason it is best to avoid taking aspirin and other salicylates when you have the flu.

No, specific link to Covid-19. Don’t need old recycled articles.

But, seriously, most cold/flu medicine marketed as cold/flu medicine in this country should be o.k. to take, shouldn't it?

What if you might need it for the heart? Or trade for toilet paper?..

Hello---Aspirin has LONG (long!) been known not to be good or taken with the regular flu to begin with.

This is a good reminder, but folks should talk to their doctors about relative risks.

I take a UC drug that breaks down into an ASA, and I asked my doctor whether I should be concerned...especially since I have a respiratory illness right now and some risk factors for its being COVID-19 (but not sufficient to qualify for testing).

They said there shouldn't be a risk with my drug. If you're concerned, you should check with your physician.

Link please? I know ibuprofen is bad with c-19 but haven’t heard aspirin is bad as well.

I didn’t know this. I take baby aspirin for circulation issues

So moat know by now that Aspirin can be deadly in viral diseases CV included.
But did you know that it is present in tons of other drugs?
This is Quitq surprisingly... and they say list is incomplete..
