Samter's Triad

Persons with Samter's Triad suffer from sensitivity to aspirin and related substances, asthma, and nasal polyposis. This condition is also known as "asthmatic triad." I have problems with polyps, had childhood asthma, and had to stop taking aspirin several years ago when it started causing GI upset. Here are links to pages with information on this topic, for you to browse if you wish:

Cox-2 Inhibitors -- Are they safe for those who are sensitive to aspirin?
