Can patients with corona19 take ibuprofen? The Spanish Pharmaceutical Products Agency (AEMPS) said there is no definitive data to prove that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen exacerbate the symptoms of corona19 infection. Why do many people think that taking ibuprofen is dangerous if they are infected with corona19?
Research into the risk of taking ibuprofen from Corona19 infected patients is ongoing. For this reason, WHO recommends that pharmacists or doctors not take ibuprofen unless prescribed.
The study is expected to be completed in May, and the Spanish medical supplies agency warned that the relationship between ibuprofen and corona19 should not be swiftly decided.
Ibuprofen is a drug used to alleviate early symptoms of infection. For this reason, there is a difficult aspect of establishing the relationship between 'cause and efficacy' of the drug.
So far, it has not been determined whether taking ibuprofen worsens the symptoms of corona19.

The Spanish infectious disease management group, SEMFYC, argues that ibuprofen should not be recommended to people infected with Corona19 until it is scientifically proven.
