The role of ibuprofen in the treatment of coronavirus infection

Abstract

The coronavirus infection started in late 2019, as a pandemic slowly reaching the entire population of the earth. This pathogen has not yet caused such a large number of diseases, so little is known about its natural course, the development of complications, and treatment options. As a result, the information initially published was very superficial, and the conclusions often misled both physicians and patients. As the data grows, however, we get more and more questions answered. One of the most representative examples of this process is the history of ibuprofen, which was initially banned, thereafter tolerated, and is now a supported treatment option for coronavirus infection.
