In the early days of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, it was believed using NSAID painkillers like ibuprofen could worsen the disease.br But now, UPI reports a new study from Denmark, published Tuesday in the journal PLOS Medicine, shows that's just not true.br Among NSAID users with COVID-19, the data showed nearly 25 needed to be hospitalized, 5 required admission to the intensive care unit and 6.3 died.br To compare, for those who did not use these drugs but tested positive for COVID-19, 21 were hospitalized, 5 needed ICU care and 6.1 died.br Considering the available evidence, there is no reason to withdraw well-indicated use of NSAIDs during the pandemic.
