HC Deb 11 March 2004 vol 418 c1690W
Mr. Jenkins

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what action his Department is taking to highlight the risk to asthmatics from taking aspirin. [160072]

Dr. Ladyman

All licensed aspirin products available over the counter currently have label warnings and/or patient information leaflets advising patients with previous asthma (especially after taking aspirin) not to take the product or to consult their doctor before use.

Labels and patient information leaflets advise patients with known allergy to aspirin not to take aspirin containing products.
