9. The need for more evidence with regard to using ibuprofen in conjunction with coronavirus infection

The need for more evidence with regard to using ibuprofen in conjunction with coronavirus infection is a common refrain among experts.

Dr. Jeffrey Klausner, professor of medicine and public health at the University of California Los Angeles Fielding School of Public Health, says that currently, “we know very little” about how using ibuprofen may impact a patient’s experience with COVID-19.

One potential connection is that in high doses of NSAIDs can damage the kidneys. COVID-19 can also affect kidney function. “We know that the coronavirus can cause sepsis in severely infected patients and sepsis can be associated with kidney problems,” Klausner says.
