Good question.This has been widely reported after comments from the French health minister.As I understand is there is no good evidence suggesting any increased susceptibility to, or severity of COVID amongst those taking non-steroidal anti inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen.People who regularly need steroid such as prednisone should absolutely keep taking them as normal unless directed otherwise by their doctor.Ill add a section to the post.
Anti-inflammatories and steroids and COVID19I have seasonal allergies and I take albuterol, nasonex for symptom relief. I read that anti-inflammatories and steroids aggravate COVID19 symptoms. I'm not sick with any symptoms of COVID19, but should I stop taking these just in case?I also take antihistamines (Zyrtec/loratadine) and a daily inhaler Ventolin (I don't believe that is steroids).
