About this clinic
We serve patients with aspirin/non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD). AERD is a complex condition where patients live with complications from three factors. They are:
- asthma;
- severe nasal and sinus polyps (painless growths inside the nose that can get irritated); and
- a respiratory reaction (a reaction that affects breathing)
When patients with AERD take aspirin or other NSAIDs, they have a reaction. It can cause serious symptoms. These include wheezing, coughing, congestion, sinus pain or trouble breathing.
The AERD is a multidisciplinary clinic served by ENT and immunology physicians. We provide patient-centred care for those diagnosed with AERD or suspected of having AERD, including:
- surgical consultation
- biologics prescriptions
- aspirin desensitization
- allergy skin testing
- and close follow-up with endoscopy.
