I used to buy these every year so I could check out the side effects since I had so many allergic reactions to so many drugs. Bayer plainly says that asthmatics should not take aspirin but most doctors don't know this so you have to read it for yourself!

There is an app for this now. 👀 I use the physical copy as a prop.
