Anti-inflammatories may aggravate Covid-19, France advises
French minister says patients should take paracetamol rather than ibuprofen or cortisone
French authorities have warned that widely used over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs may worsen the coronavirus.
The countrys health minister, Olivier Véran, who is a qualified doctor and neurologist, tweeted on Saturday: The taking of anti-inflammatories [ibuprofen, cortisone ] could be a factor in aggravating the infection. In case of fever, take paracetamol. If you are already taking anti-inflammatory drugs, ask your doctors advice.
Health officials point out that anti-inflammatory drugs are known to be a risk for those with infectious illnesses because they tend to diminish the response of the bodys immune system.
The health ministry added that patients should choose paracetamol which is known in the US by the generic name acetaminophen and commonly by the brand name Tylenol because it will reduce the fever without counterattacking the inflammation.

Véran said in his daily briefing that the evolution and spread of the virus was rapid and real, but that 98% of those who had tested positive had recovered.
