    There are some of the same properties between aspirin and ibuprofen. People that are allergic to aspirin usually are advised not to take products such as ibuprofen or naproxen unless cleared by a doctor because of the likelyhood of a similar reaction. Please see the link below for further information regarding ibuprofen.

    No, aspirin contains salicylic acid, which is not the same as ibuprofen.

    No-

    Ibufrofen is not the generic name for aspirin, it has absolutely nothing to do with aspirin...

    Ibuprofen=Advil, Motrin

    Aspirin =ASA, Anacin
