The announcement supported a recent statement by the French health minister that ibuprofen may worsen the effects of COVID-19 and should be avoided.

That's to bad since I prefer aspirin or ibuprofen over tylenol.

I bought a couple bottles of gelcaps Tylenol but don't think it works well for much of anything. I'm sore all over with all the errands & stocking I did yesterday. I took a tylenol last night instead of aspirin or ibuprofen & I'm still aching. If I had taken the other this would be gone.

Lol now we can't even take anything for our headaches! This is getting bizarre. Not poopooing it. Just kind of throwing up my hands and laughing.

ITA. All I had was aspirin & ibuprofen so I had to buy tylenol which we don't ever use or like. The article states to use paracetamol aka acetaminophen or tylenol so that's what I will do.

Tylenol works best for me under most circumstances. If there's inflammation - doc gives me prescription. I have side effects to most OTC NSAIDS.

I guess your post went poof. I read it. Was trying to heart your post but it went poof instead. LOL!!! I don't know what the big deal is about posting the article?

I will be taking an ibuprofen before I go to bed tonight.

I will take Tylenol if I get coronavirus. I prefer aspirin. I take 2 - 325 mg aspirin or 1 - 200 mg ibuprofen. Either takes care of any pain. Tylenol does not do anything for me.

Me too, I had renal failure and congestive heart failure from taking Ibuprofen.

I was in ICU on dialysis for 30+ days, before my kidneys started to function again.

Well, guess I am stuck!! Always take Advil, but have backed off due heart issues. And though Tylenol does nothing for me, I had decided to switch to Tylenol.

Now...Tylenol not recommended if one has a case of Coronavirus, but not serious enough for the hospital. What is left???
