Study: Ibuprofen Among Drugs Found Safe To Use In Treatment Of Coronavirus
LONDON — Ibuprofen is fine for coronavirus patients to take, according to a new study just released by King’s College London. Researchers say there is no conclusive evidence one way or the other regarding the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for COVID-19 patients.
The study’s authors also concluded that various types of other drugs, such as TNF blockers (Humira, Enbrel) and JAK inhibitors (Olumiant, Xeljanz, Rinvoq), are safe for coronavirus patients.
To draw these conclusions, scientists analyzed 89 previous studies that had been conducted on other coronavirus strains (SARS, MERS) and any available research on COVID-19 as well. They looked specifically to see if any steroids, pain medications, or other drugs have had an adverse reaction on earlier coronavirus patients.
It’s incredibly important for doctors to have a full spectrum of knowledge on how medications interact with COVID-19. For example, if a cancer patient were be infected with the coronavirus, it’s very likely that person would already be on a regiment of either immunosuppressive or immunostimulant drugs. In such a case, it would be imperative for his or her doctor to know which medications to stop.
