Oral challenges to detect reactions induced by acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)

Oral challenges to detect reactions induced by acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
Suspected reaction type
(based upon detailed history of past reactions and underlying conditions)
Symptoms of past reaction(s) Starting dose for ASA, in mg Increase per step Interval between steps Dose range in which reactions usually occur, in mg Usual time between administration and onset of symptoms

Respiratory reaction induced by multiple NSAIDs (cross-reacting) in patient with underlying AERD (type 1)

Also appropriate for type 4 reactions
Rhinitis/ocular symptoms, bronchospasm 40.5 Double Three hours 60 to 100 One to three hours

Urticaria/angioedema induced by multiple NSAIDs (cross-reacting) in patient with chronic urticaria (type 2)

Also appropriate for type 3 reactions
Urticaria/angioedema 81 to 162 Double Three hours 162 to 650 One to three hours
Urticaria/angioedema induced by one NSAID (no underlying conditions) (type 5)* Urticaria/angioedema 162 Double Three hours Not applicable Not applicable
Anaphylaxis induced by one NSAID (no underlying conditions) (type 6)* Anaphylaxis 81 Double Three hours Not applicable Not applicable
The challenge is terminated when either the patient reacts or the desired therapeutic dose of ASA/NSAID is reached without a reaction. The challenge is continued beyond the reaction in order to desensitize patients with AERD.
Aspirin is most often used for these protocols, and the doses cited here apply to aspirin. Refer to the UpToDate topic for a discussion of performing challenges with other NSAIDs.
AERD: aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease.
* These patients should avoid the suspected NSAID and be challenged with ASA or another NSAID (chemically different from the one that caused the reaction) to prove drug tolerance.
¶ Patients are challenged with aspirin to confirm that they do not have a pseudoallergic reaction, and symptoms during challenge are not anticipated.
