Responding to reports that ibuprofen could have adverse effects on coronavirus patients, the World Health Organization (WHO) clarified that it is not recommending against the medicine.
False news started circulating that ibuprofen is not advisable for Covid-19 cases, especially after France's health minister tweeted a warning against the use of the medicine.
According to reports in BuzzFeed News, on Tuesday news outlets reported that WHO was recommending that "people suffering Covid-19 symptoms avoid taking ibuprofen".
WHO clarified about the unfounded claim against ibuprofen and posted on their official Facebook page.
"WHO is aware of concerns on the use of ibuprofen for the treatment of fever for people with Covid-19. We are consulting with physicians treating the patients and are not aware of reports of any negative effects, beyond the usual ones that limit its use in certain populations," their post read.
Moreover, even experts backed WHO and said that coronavirus-related concerns about ibuprofen and other similar drugs, called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), were unfounded.
"I don't think making a wholesale recommendation to avoid this category of drugs, which is so tremendously beneficial, is wise at this point," Daniel Solomon, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and a rheumatologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital, told BuzzFeed News
