!!!WARNING!!! - Stay away from Ibuprofen (Advil) until further notice!

Update as to WHY you shouldn't take Advil with COVD-19

The Mayo Clinic, the CDC and WHO ALREADY KNEW THIS FOR YEARS!

Again, more info to allay some fears of my friends :)

Someone just challenged me to get the answer for them as to, "WHY ADVIL IS DANGEROUS IN REGARD TO COVD-19?"

I asked her if she had a pharmacist friend and that as a challenge, to ask them the same question and then wait until I gave her my answer to compare the two and see how I do.

Here's my answer (which I found in a mere 30 seconds after I looked at the chemical compound of Ibuprofen, lol. It's right there). I then researched it for an additional 3-4 minutes to cross-reference everything and well... I guess my Godmother was correct. I should have gone to Princeton to become a doctor, I would have ACED it... like most all else.

and finally:

where it reads... "Conclusions

Low platelet count is associated with increased risk of severe disease and mortality in patients with COVID-19, and thus should serve as clinical indicator of worsening illness during hospitalization."

I'm in a weird mood this am.

Thrombocytopenia sounds like a clinical term for "raging boner"

Nitric oxide through inhalation is a relief
It can increase methemoglobin levels though.(BAD)

DON'T DO THIS AT Home.[
This is only for severe respiratory issues, for people that are already hospitalized!

CO2 is the other one regulating breathing stuff.

I wonder of that includes acetaminophen, like in Tylenol?
