Aspirin is a part of the salicylate
family of medicines. Another name
for aspirin is acetylsalicylate; some
drug labels may use the words
acetylsalicylate, acetylsalicylic
acid, salicylic acid or salicylate
instead of the word aspirin.
Currently, there is no conclusive
date as to whether other forms of
salicylate are associated with the
devleopment of Reye’s Syndrome.
Until further research has answered
this question, the NRSF
recommends that products
containing any of these substances
should not be taken during episodes
of viral infections.
The NRSF is a non-profit, tax-
exempt organiztaion with affiliates
located in 45 states. The NRSF has
pioneered the movement to
disseminate knowledge about the
disease in an effort to aid in early
diagnosis and also provides funds
for research into the causes, cure,
care, treatment and prevention of
Reye’s Syndrome.

repeatedly. Phone your doctor
immediately if these symptoms
develop. Voice your concern about
Reye’s Syndrome. If your physician
is unavailable, take the person to an
Emergency Room promptly. Two
liver function tests (SGOT, SGPT)
can be done to determine the
possibility of Reye’s Syndrome.
There is a 90 percent chance of
recovery when the syndrome is
treated in its earliest stages by
physicians and nurses experienced
in the treatment of Reye’s.
Studies have shown that using
aspirin or aspirin-containing
medications to treat the symptoms
of viral illness increases the chance
of developing Reye’s Syndrome. If
you or a member of your family
have a flu-like illness, do not use
aspirin or aspirin-containing
medications. In fact, you should
consult your physician before you
take any drugs to treat the flu or
chicken pox, particularly aspirin or
anti-nausea medicines. Anti-nausea
medicines may mask the symptoms
of Reye’s Syndrome.
