NO IBUPROPHEN/ADVIL for Coronavirus

[CharismaticLady]

Just found out this info from Harvard Medical that those who died from the disease had Advil in their system. Advil jump starts the virus into pneumonia. Take only Tylenol/acetaminophen, but NO Ibuprofen.

I only take Bayer Aspirin, so don't know how that affects anything.

Edit:
OTC NSAIDs include:

• Ibuprofen
• Aspirin
• Naproxen Sodium

Looks like I'll have to switch to Tylenol.

Ya that info has been around for a bit ( still worth sharing). Speaking for myself I mostly use x strength Tylenol anyway because the other stuff after a couple of doses kills my stomach.

Thought you still had ten vials of Pastor Taylor’s miracle oil that resurrects dead people among other things....

Guess you are just taking aspirin now and saving oil for if serious case of death. Shrewd move.

Well, I didn't know it before today, and I bet others haven't either.

Aspirin is an NSAID like ibuprofen.

Just edited my original post.

This is the only writing I could find from Harvard. This paragraph is at the very end of the article.

Call your doctor for advice rather than bringing your child in for mild or moderate illness (there’s nothing your doctor can do at the office, and you are just adding the risk of more exposures). However, you should absolutely seek medical care if your child has

• any trouble breathing — rapid or forceful breathing, a pale or blue color to skin, trouble feeding or talking, or doing usual activities because of breathing problems
• a high fever you can’t get down (while it’s not certain, there have been some concerns raised about using ibuprofen with COVID-19 — out of an abundance of caution, best to use acetaminophen instead)
• unusual sleepiness
• pain or irritability you can’t soothe
• trouble drinking or refusal to drink, and is making less urine.

What one study from China tells us about COVID-19 and children - Harvard Health Blog

Politifact had some info. to.

PolitiFact - Will taking ibuprofen for COVID-19 cause more health problems? It’s complicated

I use Paracetamol. I get it on prescription, free, as i do Ibuprofen.

 

[Sabertooth]

I use Paracetamol.

That is acetaminophen, a Tylenol variant. (You do not want to take it in addition to Tylenol.)

My Dr only allows Tylenol for me, I had bad stomach ulcers - no aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen

Paracetamol and ibuprofen together i use on occasions

 

[Tra Phull]

I thought acetaminophen was same thing as Tylenol

Doesn't eat holes in your stomach, like NSAIDS did to me - but Tylenol not good for liver, or kidneys...
Everything is bad for something
But aspirin is the Big no-no for me for now

 

[Tra Phull]

Tylenol = brand name
Acetaminophen = generic

Same-same

A good rule of thumb is to avoid both Ibuprofen and Politifact.

Do you have Lupus or Arthritis?

If too personal, don't answer.

Bulging discs in lower back

 

[Tra Phull]

It is the LIVER that can be damaged by too much Tylenol ( Acetaminophen)

Yes, and Ibuprofen hurts the kidneys, and too much Aspirin hurts the stomach and every other organ, just don't take Ibuprofen for this particular virus.
