“Ibuprofen will now be tested as coronavirus treatment<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n What if the answer to treating the coronavirus was in our medicine cabinets all along?<\/p>\n

Despite early speculation that ibuprofen was exacerbating coronavirus symptoms, a later study found that those negative side effects could not be attributed to the common anti-inflammatory drug.<\/p>\n

Now, some scientists think that ibuprofen may, in fact, be an effective defense against COVID-19, according to the US National Library of Medicine\u2019s clinical trials database.<\/p>\n

Doctors from London\u2019s Guy\u2019s and St. Thomas\u2019 hospital and King\u2019s College are beginning clinical research on patients in a trial program dubbed \u201cLiberate,\u201d wherein half of the test subjects will be treated with ibuprofen while the other half will receive treatment without the added drug.<\/p>\n

Scientists note that they will be using a unique formulation that wouldn\u2019t be found in drugstores; rather, it\u2019s in lipid capsule form that\u2019s prescribed for conditions such as arthritis.<\/p>\n

Findings in animal studies have suggested that ibuprofen could treat acute respiratory distress syndrome, which is known to develop in coronavirus patients.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to do a trial to show that the evidence actually matches what we expect to happ<\/a>en,\u201d says professor Mitul Mehta of King\u2019s College London.<\/p>\n

The idea that ibuprofen may lead to severe coronavirus complications was inspired by a report in March of a 4-year-old British child whose symptoms worsened after taking the fever-reducing drug. This prompted the UK\u2019s health officials to rescind recommendations for taking ibuprofen to treat symptoms. Later the French health minister Olivier V\u00e9ran bolstered the claim when he said the drug could \u201caggravate the infection.\u201d<\/p>\n

This prompted King\u2019s College London researchers to conduct a review of 13 previous studies about ibuprofen, but ultimately they found no evidence that it had the potential to weaken the immune system. They published their report in the journal Ecancermedicalscience<\/a> on March 27.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur search did not identify any strong evidence for or against the use of ibuprofen for treatment of COVID-19 specifically,\u201d the study reads. \u201cThe current literature does not give conclusive evidence for or against the use of NSAIDs in the treatment of COVID-19 patients.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
