Question
I am allergic to Aspirin, Naproxen, Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen.  Is there anything that I can take for pain that isn't derived from one of these?

Answer
Hi Samantha,
Tramadol is a newer analgesic that can be used in your case. It is not related to any of the ones you mentioned you were allergic to. It is more related to the opioid analgesics.
Thank you for using Allexperts
Sincerely,
