People with haemophilia should not take aspirin (ASA or acetylsalicyclic acid), or anything containing aspirin, because it interferes with the stickiness of the blood platelets and adds to problems with bleeding.
Paracetamol (acetominophen) is a perfectly safe alternative to aspirin to relieve pain, for example, headaches.
