        WHO is aware of concerns on the use of #ibuprofen for the treatment of fever for people with #COVID19. We are consulting with physicians treating the patients & are not aware of reports of any negative effects, beyond the usual ones that limit its use in certain populations.pic.twitter.com/X0olC1ESQP

        Even with liver disease, acetaminophen is often safer (just limit to 2g/24hr).

        human pathogenic coronaviruses bind target cells together using angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), which can be increased by treatment with ACE inhibitors and angiotensin II type-I receptor blockers. Aka IBUPROFEN

        Consequently, the increased expression of ACE2 would facilitate infection with COVID-19,” Lei Fang, MD, PhD, postdoctoral researcher in the department of biomedicine at University Hospital Basel, Switzerland

        Kind of a double negative here in your 1st post. Are you saying IT IS OK TO USE IBUPROFEN? The 2nd post makes it seem like you’re consulting Physicians.

        They can only go on the data that's available at the time. "No clear evidence" of something doesn't mean it's definitely not happening, just that they don't have scientific proof of it. The science changes as we gather more data - that's to be expected
