- Abstract
A few months after the onset of the 2019 coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19), it has been suggested that the use of certain nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may increase the severity and mortality of the disease, therefore it should be avoided in those who become ill. The hypothesis was based on previous preclinical and clinical studies that analyzed the role of cyclooxygenase in inflammatory processes in viral infections. Based on the existing data analyzed, there is no evidence of a worsening of the disease in patients previously treated with ibuprofen.
